Name

Post Text

My name is Christopher James Maxwell. My friends call me CJ. I was named after my Father, Christopher John Maxwell, and my Grandfather, James Norman Maxwell. In English, Christopher means “Bearer of Christ.” It is from the Greek ‘christos’ (the anointed one, Christ) and ‘phero’ (I carry). Christopher is the patron saint of travelers and, according to the legend; Christopher carried the young Jesus across a river. When I was little, I did not like my name. I thought was too long and grown up. I loved the name CJ, so my parents called me that, and it stuck. I have grown to like my name so now I answer to Christopher, Chris, and CJ.
