Kristoff

US Popularity Rank: 11257

Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: bearing Christ

Kristoff is a boy's name of Scandinavian origin that means "bearing Christ." It's a variant of the Greek name Christopher, which is made up of the elements Christos, meaning "Christ," and phero, which means "to bear." Saint Christopher, meanwhile, is the patron saint of travelers, making this name a great choice for sharing your faith with your little one. Kristoff got a fresh new lease of life from Frozen, but this name's meaning is anything but frosty.
