Chistopher is a male first name.
Recently, the name Chistopher has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Chistopher. That means that a boy named Chistopher is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Chistopher.
Is the name Chistopher a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Chosen by 54 parents, the name was given most frequently in 1973 – at that time, it ranked #994. It thus experienced its last peak in a world without internet and cell phones, even before the first personal computer was built. (Do you remember? Those were those big boxes that couldn't even begin to do what a simple robot vacuum cleaner can do today). Since Chistopher is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their baby boy this unusual name. So, if your name is Chistopher, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Chistopher was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

In not even one in five states you will find more than 4 men and boys with the name Chistopher. This first name might not be completely unknown, but in the entire United States, there are about 302 Americans who bear this name. And these 302 men and boys named Chistopher live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. In the other 41 states, there are either none or less than a handful boys and men with this name (to explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five men with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Chistopher lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Chistopher and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Chistopher relative to its male population is California. And even there, only one male in 99,583 would raise his hand if you asked, who is called Chistopher.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for boys’ names. This is because 5.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With ten letters, the name Chistopher is obviously a particularly long first name used in the U.S.: only 1.8% of all common first names have exactly ten letters. 98% of all first names are shorter, while only 0.6% of all boys’ and girls’ names need more than ten letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
With 5.2% of all boys' names that begin with a C, this first letter is thus much more common than the average of all letters. And which boys’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Charles.
If you take all the letters in the name Chistopher – C, h, i, s, t, o, p, h, e and r – and put them together again, you can form another name, such as Christophe.
If your name is Chistopher and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
