Acts 11:26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”
Acts of the Apostles was not written in English. The earliest Codex the Sinaiticus is written in Greek and does not contain the Greek word for Christian/Christians.
The Sinaiticus Codex is evidence that no person was known as Chistian when Acts of the Apostle was composed.
Another early Codex, the Vaticanus also does not contain the words Christian and Christians.
