Cristofer is a male first name.
Cristofer is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth boy, and therefore ranks at 1545 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,544 boys names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Cristofer.
Cristofer is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Cristofer cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #757 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2006. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Cristofer, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Cristofer seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Cristofer was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
70 babies were named Cristofer in 2022 - that's 1 in 2,306,086 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Cristofer ranked 1,894 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Cristofer, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 28 states are home to men and boys named Cristofer. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Cristofer living in one state or another. If your name is Cristofer and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Nevada, which has the most people named Cristofer relative to the population, you still have to ask 17,678 men and boys their names before you hear Cristofer as an answer just once.
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 nine letters, the name Cristofer is relatively long compared to other names. In fact, 5.6% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly nine letters. 92% of all first names are shorter, while not even 2.5% of all boys’ and girls’ names use ten or more 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 your name is Cristofer 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...
