Christer

Christer is a Scandinavian masculine name, primarily Swedish and Norwegian, derived from the medieval Latin Christianus, itself from the Greek Christianos, meaning follower of Christ, from Christos, the anointed one. The name entered Nordic use as a vernacular form of Christian and has been popular in Sweden since the early modern period. Closely related forms include Christian, Krister, and the Danish and Norwegian variant Kristian.
