What Does the Name Chrsitopher Mean?
Chrsitopher is a misspelling of Christopher, an English form of a Greek name meaning "Christ-bearer." The Greek name Christophoros (Χριστόφορος) combines Christos (Χριστός), meaning "Christ" or "anointed one," with pherein (φέρειν), "to bear" or "carry." The literal sense is "one who carries Christ." Latinized as Christophorus, the name became the English Christopher.
Chrsitopher Name History & Origins
The Greek name Christophoros was used by early Christians and was Latinized as Christophorus; the English form Christopher developed from that Latin name. A martyr named Christopher is venerated in Eastern and Western Christian traditions, and he is traditionally invoked as a patron of travelers. The familiar story of Christopher carrying a child across a river, who reveals himself as Christ, is a later legend rather than a documented biographical account. The name was in use in England in the Middle Ages and also took forms such as Christophe in French and Cristóbal in Spanish.
