Etymology: From Koine Greek Χρῑστόφορος (Khrīstóphoros, from Χρῑστός (Khrīstós, “Christ”) + φόρος (phóros, “bearing”), literally “Christ-bearer”), from Ancient Greek χρῑστός (khrīstós, “anointed one”) + φέρω (phérō, “to bear, bring”, from Proto-Hellenic *pʰérō), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰéreti (from the root *bʰer-), whence via Proto-Italic *ferō also comes ferō; cf.
