Kristofers is a Latvian masculine given name, a localized form of the pan‑European Kristofer/Kristoffer, ultimately descending from Greek Christophoros (Χριστόφορος), meaning “Christ-bearer” (from christos, “anointed/Christ,” and pherein, “to carry”). The name’s significance stems from the medieval legend of Saint Christopher, patron of travelers, which helped spread the root across Europe.
