Khrystofor
Khrystofor Origin and Meaning
Khrystofor is a masculine name representing an Eastern Slavic or Ukrainian variant of Christopher, which derives from Greek elements meaning 'bearing Christ.' This distinctive spelling reflects the Cyrillic transliteration used in Eastern European Orthodox traditions. While Christopher remains common in Western countries, Khrystofor offers a direct connection to Eastern European heritage and Orthodox Christian traditions. The name carries the same religious significance as its more familiar variant, referencing the legend of Saint Christopher carrying the Christ child across a river. The distinctive 'Kh' beginning and 'or' ending reflect authentic linguistic patterns from Ukrainian or Russian naming traditions. Though rare outside Eastern Europe, it provides a meaningful way to honor Slavic ancestry.
