Meaning & Origin

Christofer is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, a variant spelling of Christopher, from Christophoros, meaning 'bearer of Christ' — one who carries Christ within. Saint Christopher is the patron saint of travelers.

The single 'h' spelling (Christofer rather than Christopher) gives this venerable name a slightly different visual identity while keeping all its historical and religious significance intact. It's one of those rare variant spellings that feels intentional and distinctive without veering into invented territory.
