Meaning & Origin
Christropher is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, a variant spelling — likely a transcription with a transposed 'r' — of Christopher, from the Greek Christophoros meaning 'bearer of Christ' — from Christos (anointed one) and phoros (bearer). Saint Christopher was the legendary giant who carried the Christ child across a river.
Christopher has been one of the most beloved names in the English-speaking world for centuries, carried by kings, explorers, and saints. Christropher preserves the name's full weight and spiritual meaning in an unusual orthographic form that occasionally appears in historical American records.
