Usage notes

When used by Christians, the phrase is usually rendered मसीही धर्म (Masīhī dharm), literally the "Messianic religion" ; a direct translation of the term "Christianity". In contrast, the phrase ईसाई धर्म (Īsāī dharm) literally means the "Jesuite religion", deriving from the Qur'anic form of Jesus' name, ईसा (Īsā).
