Khristo is Greek in Origin.
Khristo is a Bulgarian male name from Greek Christos (Χριστός), “the anointed one,” a title of Jesus. It entered Bulgarian through Church Slavonic and has longstanding use since the Christianization of the First Bulgarian Empire, especially among Eastern Orthodox families. The spelling with Kh reflects scholarly transliteration of the Cyrillic Х (Bulgarian Христо), which is more commonly rendered H in everyday English as Hristo; Christo also appears in international contexts.
Common regional variants include Greek Christos, Bulgarian Hristo, Macedonian Hristo, and the Westernized Christo; related feminine forms are Hristina/Christina. Diminutives and nicknames in Bulgarian include Itso/Ico and Itsko. The name often carries devotional significance and is celebrated on or near Christmas in Bulgaria. Usage remains steady in Bulgaria and the diaspora, helped by renowned bearers such as poet‑revolutionary Hristo Botev and footballer Hristo Stoichkov.
