Greek origin
“A variant spelling of Christopher, from Greek 'Christophorus,' meaning 'bearer of Christ' or 'one who carries Christ.' This non-standard spelling appears to be phonetic or regional. Christopher has been a beloved name for centuries, borne by explorers, artists, and saints, symbolizing protection and spiritual purpose.”
