Kristo

Kristo is a shortened form of the Greek name Christos, meaning anointed one, derived from the verb khriein, to anoint, which was used to translate the Hebrew title Mashiach (Messiah). The name is closely associated with Jesus Christ in Christian tradition and has been widely adopted across many cultures as both a given name and a name element. It functions as a common independent given name in Finnish, Albanian, and several other European languages. Related forms include Cristo, Christo, and Kristos.
