Kiff

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: German

Meaning: Christ-bearer; Love; Kith and kin

Inspired by the legendary figure of St. Christopher, Kiff is an adorable boy's name that links baby to your faith. Meaning "Christ-bearer," Kiff has Greek origins in Khrīstóphoros and tells the tale of St. Christopher, who carried the Christ child across a river. Kiff also has German and English links as a topographic surname for "kith and kin," where the family home and surrounding lands were passed down through generations. Futurama fans may think of Lieutenant Kif Kroker, who, just like St. Christopher, loyally carries out his duties despite the challenges of working with Captain Zapp! Kiff also appears in French slang for "love," derived from the verb kiffer, reminding your little one to lead a life of compassion and care for their family and friends.
