Kristaps

Male name used in Eastern Europe, more specifically the small island nation of Latvia. Has historically been linked with zionism and obesity, these etymological links have been affirmed by several notable scholars of the Latvian language, such as Prof. Banis Jorbals and Dr. Hab. Peinholds Rirags. Used in every day use expressions such as "Kristaps resns" and "Kristaps žīds". May occasionally be substituted by the Old Prussian form "Kristpaps", however, the name (and most Kristaps) historically originate from the Western region of Kurzeme (or Courland).

Well known Kristaps include Lielais Kristaps and Kristaps Kaupe.

Cease being such a Kristaps and lend me a fiver!
