Definition
A person's given name, the French form of Christopher, meaning 'bearer of Christ' in its original Greek meaning.
Etymology
From Greek 'Christophoros,' composed of 'Christos' (Christ) and 'phoros' (bearing or carrying). The name became common in Christian Europe as a saint's name—Saint Christopher was the patron saint of travelers. It evolved into various European forms: Christopher (English), Christophe (French), Cristóbal (Spanish), and Krzysztof (Polish).
Kelly Says
Saint Christopher was believed to carry Christ across a dangerous river, and he became so popular that medieval travelers would wear his medal for protection—interestingly, he was removed from the official Catholic calendar in 1969 because historians doubted he ever existed, yet millions still carry his name and image for safe travels!
