Christos

Christos is a boy's baby name of Greek origin meaning 'anointed one' — the Greek translation of the Hebrew word Messiah. In the Greek Orthodox tradition, Christos is one of the most revered given names, with its feast day celebrated across Greece on January 7th.

While Christ is rarely used as a given name in English, Christos carries the same meaning in a form that feels completely natural in Greek culture. For Greek Orthodox families, it is both a name and a statement of faith — one of the most profound choices in the naming tradition.
