Over 80 names and titles used for Jesus Christ across the Book of Mormon, Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Each name with its verse text, cross-references, and the doctrinal truth it reveals about the Savior.
The scriptures use more than 80 distinct names and titles for Jesus Christ, and each one reveals a different aspect of His nature, mission, and relationship with God's children. He is called 'Lamb of God' (emphasizing His atoning sacrifice), 'Good Shepherd' (His care for individuals), 'Prince of Peace' (His role as the ultimate source of peace), 'Mighty God' (His divine power), and dozens more.
In the Old Testament, many of these names appear in Hebrew with layers of meaning that English translation can only partially convey. 'Immanuel' means 'God with us.' 'Jehovah' (YHWH) is the covenant name of God revealed to Moses. The Book of Mormon adds names specific to Latter-day Saint theology, including 'The Christ' as used by Nephite prophets centuries before the mortal ministry.
Elder Dallin H. Oaks taught that learning the names of Christ is one of the most rewarding forms of scripture study because each name teaches doctrine. When Abinadi declared Jesus to be 'the Father and the Son' (Mosiah 15), he was teaching about the nature of God. When Isaiah called Him 'Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace' (Isaiah 9:6), each title carries specific prophetic meaning.

Over 80 distinct names and titles for Jesus Christ appear across the five standard works used by Latter-day Saints. These range from well-known titles like 'Savior' and 'Redeemer' to less commonly studied names like 'Dayspring,' 'Branch,' and 'Lion of the tribe of Juda.' The Church has published a list of 115+ names including those from prophetic teachings.
The Book of Mormon contains many names for Christ including 'Lamb of God,' 'The Christ,' 'Holy One of Israel,' 'Lord Omnipotent,' 'Eternal Judge,' 'Father and Son,' 'God of the whole earth,' and 'Redeemer of Israel.' Several of these titles appear in the Book of Mormon centuries before the mortal ministry of Jesus Christ.
Names identify who Jesus is (e.g., 'Jesus,' 'Christ,' 'Immanuel'), while titles describe His roles and attributes (e.g., 'Good Shepherd,' 'Prince of Peace,' 'Mighty God'). In practice, scripture uses both interchangeably as descriptors of the Savior. Latter-Day Daily catalogs both names and titles together for comprehensive study.
The Old Testament refers to the pre-mortal Jesus Christ primarily as 'Jehovah' (YHWH), 'Lord,' 'Holy One of Israel,' 'Immanuel,' 'Wonderful Counsellor,' 'Mighty God,' 'Everlasting Father,' 'Prince of Peace,' 'Branch,' 'Root of Jesse,' 'Dayspring,' and 'Messenger of the Covenant,' among others. These Hebrew titles carry deep meaning that enriches understanding of Christ's mission.
