My names christopher
Christopher is the name that corresponds to the Greek name/word Christophoros. The latter consists of words for 'Christ' and "to bear" (pherein). It was popular with early Christians who believed they "carried" Christ in their hearts. The name also became associated with the apocryphal story of a giant who physically carried the Christ-child across a river. See Saint Christopher. The truncations Chris, Christo, Christoph, and Christy are also used as names. Nicknames derived from Christopher include Chris, Pher (pronounced Fur), Kit, Kester and Topher, Toph (mostly New English), and Pher Pher (pronounced Fur Fur).
