Origin and meaning of Christos
Christos is a Greek men's name from Christós, 'anointed, consecrated,' the participle of chríein 'to anoint': it is the Greek title of Christ, 'the Anointed One.' Borne with deep religious meaning in Greece and Cyprus, often shortened to Chrístos, the name is widespread in the Orthodox world. It stays almost exclusive to the Hellenic region, where it expresses faith and hope.
