Christon is a unique and uncommon given name of Greek origin, derived from the Greek word 'christos', which means 'anointed'. It was traditionally used as an alternative form of the name Christian, signifying one who is 'anointed with Christ'. The name gained some popularity during the Middle Ages but has remained relatively rare throughout history. Today, it's considered a distinctive choice for parents seeking a less common yet meaningful name.
"The name Christon peaked in popularity between 1980 and 1981 with 30 births, but it has since declined, with only 5 births recorded in both 1993 and 1994."
