What Does the Name Christohper Mean?
Christohper is a spelling of the English name Christopher, whose established meaning is "bearer of Christ." The name goes back to Greek Christophoros, built from Christos ("Christ") and the verb pherein ("to carry, to bear"). Latin took the Greek name over as Christophorus. In the spelling given here, the -ph- and the -o- of the second element have changed places; the name has no separate origin, and its meaning is the same as Christopher's.
Christohper Name History & Origins
The name is tied to the legend of Saint Christopher, traditionally described as a martyr of the third century who was put to death in Lycia during the persecution under the emperor Decius. In the best-known telling of his story, he carried a child across a river and found that the child was Christ; this tale gives a narrative form to the name's literal sense. Whether a historical martyr of that name existed is not established by Roman records, and the legend is the earliest context in which the name becomes widely known.
The Latin form Christophorus spread through medieval Europe, passing into Old French as Cristofle and entering English in forms such as Cristofre, Cristopher, and Christopher. In late medieval England the name was common, and devotion to Saint Christopher as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and as a protector against sudden death supported its use. The modern standard English spelling is Christopher; Christohper is a transposition of its letters rather than a distinct historical form.
