Answer 1

Wow, I'm sorry for you loss.

Christopher in Hebrew is written:כריסטופר , or with vowel marks: כְּרִיסְטוֹפֶר

In Greek it's written: Χριστοφερως (Khristoferos)

Answer 2

Hi, It mean messiah - hence christ see below

The word Khristos was used to translate the Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ), that is Messiah, and thus took on its current meaning.
