How this page is made. A name is here because its meaning contains christ, christian or christ-bearer. It is a plain word match, not a claim that the names are related: Christopher and Christian sit together because their meanings say the same thing, not because they share a history. A name with no meaning we can stand behind is left out rather than given one.
