Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Krisztofer je maďarská podoba prevzatá z anglického Christopher. Konečným východiskom je grécke meno Christophoros (Χριστόφορος), zložené z Christos (Kristus, doslova pomazaný) a zložky -phoros (nesúci), súvisiacej so slovesom pherō (niesť). Význam je „ten, kto nesie Krista“; maďarčina a angličtina sprostredkovali podobu mena, nie jeho pôvodné významové korene.
