Christofor Origin and Meaning

The name Christofor is a boy's name.

Christofor is a masculine name representing a variant spelling of Christopher, which derives from Greek elements meaning 'bearing Christ.' This uncommon spelling variation maintains the meaning and essence of the traditional name while offering a distinctive written form. The name has roots in multiple European language traditions, potentially reflecting Greek, Spanish, or Eastern European influences. While Christopher remains consistently popular across many Western countries, the Christofor variant is exceedingly rare, giving boys with this name a unique identity while still connecting to a recognizable classic. The name carries religious significance through its reference to St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers. Despite its unusual spelling, most people would pronounce it similarly to the more common Christopher.
