The name Christopher comes from the Late Greek name Chrisopheros, which is derived from the Greek name Christos, meaning "Christ," combined with the Greek word phero, meaning "to bear" or "to carry." Therefore, it translates to "bearing Christ" or "Christ carries." It has been a top-100 boy's name every year since 1949 and was even a top-five boy's name every year between 1972 and 1998. It's a fun Winnie-the-Pooh-inspired name, thanks to Christopher Robin, but can also be a nod to explorer Christopher Columbus and architect Christopher Wren.
