Christopher, often abbreviated as Chrisley, is a unisex given name of Greek origin. It is derived from the Greek word 'Christophoros', which translates to 'bearing Christ' or 'Christ-bearer'. This name gained popularity during the Middle Ages and was used primarily for males. However, in recent years, it has also been adopted as a female name due to its unisex sound. Christopher is often shortened to Chris, and the variant Chrisley is a unique and modern twist on this classic name.
"Chrisley is quite uncommon; only five babies were named Chrisley annually in 2017."
