Christian

Christian comes from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which itself derives from the Greek Christos, the anointed one, a translation of the Hebrew Mashiach. The name spread widely across Europe through Christianity and was borne by numerous Danish and Norwegian kings, reinforcing its strong Scandinavian presence. Feminine forms and cognates include Christina, Christine, and Kristian, while Cristian and Kristen represent common regional variants.
