Christel

Christel is a diminutive form of Christine, itself derived through Latin Christina from the Greek name Christos, meaning anointed, which became the title and then the name of Jesus of Nazareth. The name has been widely used across German, French, Dutch, and Scandinavian cultures as an affectionate short form with independent standing as a given name. Related forms include Kristel, Christelle, and Christine, as well as the masculine Christel occasionally found in older Scandinavian records.
