Meaning: Modern Greek diminutive of Christos, as it contains the modern Greek diminutive suffix -άκης (-akis). This name is typically only used informally, meaning: it does not appear on birth certificates. A notable bearer of this name was the Greek folk singer Christos Syrpos (1924-1981), who was primarily known under the stage name Christakis.
