Kristofor

Kristofor is the Croatian and Albanian form of Christopher, ultimately derived from the Greek name Khristophoros, composed of the elements Khristos, meaning Christ, and phoros, meaning bearing or carrying, giving the overall sense of one who bears Christ. The name became widely used across medieval Europe through the veneration of Saint Christopher, a martyr regarded as the patron of travelers. Related forms include Kristoffer in Scandinavian languages, Christoph in German, Cristóbal in Spanish, and Kristopher as an English spelling variant.
