Origin:Latin
Meaning:Follower of Christ
Christo is a boy’s name of Latin and Greek origins, meaning “follower of Christ.” A unique and preppy choice, Christo comes from the more commonly known Christian, but more subtly harkens to parents’ religious faith. The name is believed to derive from the Greek Christos, meaning “anointed,” and was a name given to Jesus by early Greek-speaking Christians. Christo is also a translation of the Hebrew term Messiah, blessing baby with an angelic etymology that’s survived the ages.
