Christ

Where Christ comes from

Christ hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1880
    First SSA year
    Already #465 among boys — 15 babies in the first year on record.
  2. 1881
    Peak, #360
    21 babies named Christ — more than any year before or since.
  3. 1896
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #778.
  4. 2004
    Christ Makosso born
    footballer
  5. 2006
    Christ Inao Oulaï born
    Ivorian association football player
