Hristofor

Hristofor is a South Slavic form of the Greek name Christophoros, composed of the elements Christos, meaning Christ or anointed one, and phoros, meaning bearer or carrier, giving the overall sense of one who bears Christ. The name entered Slavic languages through Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition, in which Saint Christopher, legendary martyr and patron of travelers, was widely venerated. It is the direct Slavic equivalent of Christopher in English, Christoph in German, Christophe in French, and Kristofor in other regional spellings.
