성경구절

뜻

이 이름은 그리스 어원인 “Christos” 에서 기원 되었는데 이 뜻은 기름 부음을 받은자란의미인 “Chris”와 짐을 나르다 혹은 지다란 뜻인 “phero”를 의미합니다. 이것은 초기 크리스천들에 의해 쓰여졌는데, 그들은 십자가를 지신 예수님을 그들 마음에 새기기로 맹세하는 것을 은유적으로 나타낸 것입니다. 이후 중세시대에 크리스토퍼라 불리는 여행자들의 수호성인 한 남자에 대한 전설이 있었는데, 그는 강을 건너는 젊은 예수를 옮겼던 사람입니다. 운반하다란 뜻을 가진 이름 중에 Christopher Wren을 포함한 유명한 이름들이 있는데 St. Paul’s Cathedral, 와 Christopher Columbus 같은 런던에서 많이 알려진 교회의 건축가인 사람들과 남북 아메리카를 발견한 탐험가인 Genoese가 있습니다.
