Disciples first called Christians at Antioch
At Antioch in Syria, believers began preaching to Greeks as well as Jews, and a great number believed. Barnabas came from Jerusalem, brought Saul from Tarsus, and they taught there a whole year.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Acts 11:26 (World English Bible)
Antioch, the third city of the Roman Empire, became the church's second home and the base for the mission to the Gentiles. There the disciples were first given the name Christians, meaning Christ's people, perhaps at first by outsiders.
