The meaning of “Christopher” from Ancestry.com: English: from Greek Khristophoros, a name composed of the elements Khristos Christ + pherein to bear. This was popular among early Christians, conscious of the fact that they were metaphorically bearing Christ in their hearts. A later, over-literal interpretation of the name gave rise to the legend of a saint who actually bore the Christ-child over a stream; he is regarded as the patron of travellers. Cognates: Irish Gaelic: Críostóir. Scottish: Kester; See also Crìsdean. French: Christophe. Italian: Cristoforo. Spanish: Cristóbal. Catalan: Cristòfol. Portuguese: Cristovão. German: Christoph. Scandinavian: Kristoffer. Polish: Krzysztof. Czech: Kryštof Finnish: Risto.
Strange that I have little to no religious beliefs, and both my first and middle names are religious in nature.
