Kristofor Origin and Meaning

The name Kristofor is a boy's name.

Kristofor is a masculine name representing a variation of Christopher, which derives from the Greek 'Christophoros,' meaning 'bearer of Christ.' This spelling variant maintains the name's religious significance while offering a distinctive Slavic or Eastern European character. The 'K' spelling reflects common phonetic adaptations found in languages like Russian, Polish, or Czech. While less common than the traditional Christopher in English-speaking countries, Kristofor provides a connection to Eastern European heritage while remaining recognizable. The name carries the rich historical legacy of Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers. Kristofor combines religious significance with cultural distinction, appealing to families seeking to honor Slavic roots while using a name with established meaning and tradition.
