Krsto

Krsto is a South Slavic masculine name, primarily used in Croatian and Serbian, that developed as a short form of Kristofor or related names ultimately derived from the Greek name Christophoros, meaning bearer of Christ, itself composed of Christos (the anointed one) and pherein (to carry). The name reflects the widespread Christian influence on personal naming in the Balkans during and after the medieval period. Equivalent forms in other traditions include Christopher in English, Christoph in German, and Kristoffer in Scandinavian languages.
