Cristopher
Cristopher is a variant spelling of the name Christopher, which is derived from the Greek name 'Χριστοφορος' (Christophoros), meaning 'Christ-bearer'.
The name is comprised of two elements: 'Christos' meaning 'Christ' and 'phoros' meaning 'bearer' or 'carrier'. It was initially used as a metaphorical name for someone who carried Christ in their heart and actions.
In the Christian tradition, Saint Christopher is a legendary figure who is said to have carried a child across a river, only to discover later that the child was Christ carrying the weight of the world.
While Cristopher is an uncommon spelling variation, the name has a rich history and meaning associated with the Christian faith and the concept of carrying or representing Christ.
