Christoffersen ((:kʁiˈstɔfɐsn̩)) is a Danish-Norwegian patronymic surname, literally meaning ''son of Christoffer'', the North Germanic form of the Greek given name Χριστόφορος, Christóphοros. There are two less common spelling variants Kristoffersen and Christophersen; they have identical pronunciation. In Denmark, the three spelling variants are the 53rd, 83rd, and 205th (respectively) most popular surnames.〔(University of Copenhagen - Name Research Section )〕 In Norway, ''Kristoffersen'' is the commoner form, but ''Christoffersen'' is also found. Occurrence of the surname outside Denmark, Norway and Schleswig-Holstein is due to migration. Immigrants to English-speaking countries sometimes changed the spelling to Christofferson, Kristofferson, or Christopherson. ==People== *Eric Christoffersen of Denmark (c. 1307 – early 1332), Danish junior king *John Christopherson (died 1558) was Chaplain and confessor *John Brian Christopherson (1868–1955), was a British physician *Hjalmar Christoffersen (1889–1966), Danish amateur footballer *Thies Christophersen (1918–1997), German Holocaust denier *Peter Christopherson (1955-2010), British musician *Kris Kristofferson (born 1936), U.S. country music songwriter, singer and actor *Henning Christophersen (born 1939), Danish politician, vice-president of the European Commission 1985–1995 *Asmund Kristoffersen (born 1944), Norwegian politician *D.
