Christopher: Boys Baby Name Meaning

Christopher Baby Name

The name Christopher means ‘bearer of Christ’.

Christopher originates from the Greek ‘Khristophoros’ which, broken down into each Greek element, means Christ (Khristos) and ‘to bear’ (pherein). Christopher essentially means ‘bearer of Christ’.

The name was always popular among early Christians who literally translated the name to mean ‘bearing Christ in their hearts’.

The name was also revered in the name of Saint Christopher, a 3rd century saint around whom several medieval legends were developed.

Christopher became very popular in England just after the Middle Ages (around the 15th century) and it was likewise popular in Scandinavian countries (where it’s usually rendered as Kristoffer).

The Italian-born explorer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) is one of the most famous name bearers, although his name in his native Italian was Cristoforo.

The Spanish use Cristóbal, the French Christophe and the Germans spell it Christoph.

Famous people who share the name Christopher:

Christopher Evans, American actor; Christopher Katongo (born 1982), Zambian international footballer; Christopher Hemsworth, Australian actor; Christopher Paolini, American author.
