What is the meaning of the name Christo ?

The baby name Christo is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KRIS-toh (IPA: /ˈkrɪs.toʊ/).

Christo is Greek in Origin.

Christo is a masculine given name rooted in Greek Khristós (Χριστός), “the anointed (one),” and is widely used as a short form of Christopher or Christian. As such, it can carry either the direct sense “anointed” or, via Christopher (Greek Christophoros), “bearer of Christ.”
