Christ

Meaning of Christ

Christ (pronounced krist) springs from the Greek Christos, meaning “anointed one,” and sends an immediate nod to Jesus Christ, whose story resonates across centuries. In Anglo-American naming circles, it remains a rare gem—hovering around rank 895 in the latest U.S. birth data—yet carries quiet strength and unmistakable heritage. It gleams with tradition’s warmth without feeling heavy. Like a lone lantern guiding a path through familiar territory, it feels both intimate and bold. Choosing Christ is like sharing a secret handshake with history: succinct, resonant, and full of hope.
