Cristopher

Where Cristopher comes from

Cristopher hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1950
    First appearance
    #2,207 among boys, 12 babies — the first year at least five got the name.

    Cristopher Toselli born
    Chilean footballer
  3. 1997
    Cristopher Meléndez born
    Honduran footballer
  4. 2007
    Peak, #470
    576 babies named Cristopher — more than any year before or since.
  5. 2013
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #861.
