The crucifix, maybe not the cross. The cross, historically comes from the Latin abriviation for Jesus, PX. Which would then evolve over time to the Roman Cross that looks like a lower case letter t.
The word for cross in Latin refered to an upright pole, a pole with a top beam like the capital letter T and two cross beams like the letter X before this.
Greek, not Latin. It's called the Chi Rho for the first two letters of Christ in Greek - ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ.
