Origin: Greek

Meaning: bearer of Christ

Like most names that start with C, there's often a K alternative to choose from. The Greek boy’s name, Kristopher, is a form of Christopher, meaning “bearer of Christ.” Deriving from the Greek Khrīstóphoros, it receives its definition from the breakdown of khrīstós and phérō, meaning “Christ” and “to bear” respectively. This name can be a nod to the heroic St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, who offers protection on their journey.
