Christofidou Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Christofidou (Χριστοφίδου) is the feminine form of Christofidis (Χριστοφίδης), a patronymic surname derived from Christoforos (Χριστόφορος) or a shortened Christof- form and the suffix -idis (-ίδης), meaning “descendant of.” Christoforos means “Christ-bearer,” from Christos (Χριστός) and phero (φέρω), “to carry.” Christofidou therefore means “female descendant of Christoforos/Christofis,” with the -idis formation especially characteristic of Pontic, Asia Minor, Macedonian, and northern Greek surname traditions.
