What does the name Chris mean in Greek?

The name "Chris" is a shortened form of the name "Christopher", which comes from the Greek name Χριστόφορος (Christophoros).

Christophoros is composed of two Greek words:

* Χριστός (Christos) meaning "Anointed One" or "Messiah"

* φόρος (phoros) meaning "bearer" or "carrier"

Therefore, Christopher literally means "Christ-bearer" or "bearer of Christ".
