Kit

Kit is a boy's and girl's baby name of Greek origin, a medieval English diminutive of Christopher, from Christophoros, meaning 'bearer of Christ,' composed of Christos and phoros (bearer).

Compact and effortlessly charming, Kit has a swashbuckling literary quality — think Kit Harington (Jon Snow in Game of Thrones) or the many Kit Marlowes, Kit Carsons, and Kit Snickets of fiction. It's old and new simultaneously — as crisp as a single syllable can be while carrying centuries of English naming history.
