Of course not. His *name* was Jesus. If there was ever need for further
ID he would have been called ben Joseph (Josephson), carpenter, of Nazareth.
"Christ" was a title derived from Greek (a language which Jesus did not
speak) and tagged on at least a generation later.
Jesus Christ is as well documented a historical figure as almost anybody
except perhaps Alexander III of Macedon ("the Great"). Many people who
knew him wrote about him... much of this material was incorporated into
the New Testament as gospel, others such as the writings & teachings of
his brother, were supressed as you say (although not with quite as
clear-cut a nefarious motive as you claim). Check out the Septateuch.

Knowledge, and observation of fact. The latter is actually more important.
