History & Origin

Christophere is a variant of Christopher, from the Greek Christophoros, 'Christ-bearer,' tied to the legendary Saint Christopher who carried the Christ child across a river. The extra e is a decorative touch on one of the great classic boy names.

Christophere was never common in this spelling, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its peak in the early nineteen-seventies, while Christopher was a top name. A boy named Christophere then is an adult today.

Did you know? Saint Christopher, patron of travelers, was said to have carried the Christ child across a river; the Christophere spelling adds a silent e to that ancient name.
