Meaning & Origin

a male given name from English, of modern usage

Cristopher is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, an alternate spelling of Christopher, from Christophoros, meaning 'bearer of Christ,' composed of Christos (Christ, anointed one) and phoros (bearer).

The single-h spelling Cristopher is more common in Spanish-speaking countries and among Latino families in the U.S. — where the soft transition from Spanish pronunciation to American English naturally drops the second H. It carries all the meaning and prestige of Christopher's centuries of use across the Christian world.
