Christiana

Christiana is the Latinate feminine form of Christianus, meaning one who follows Christ, itself derived from the Greek Khristos, the anointed one, a translation of the Hebrew Mashiach. The name spread throughout medieval Europe with the expansion of Christianity and was borne by several historical figures, including Christiana of Markyate, a twelfth-century English mystic. It remains in use across many cultures and languages, with closely related forms including Christina, Christine, Kristiana, and Kristina.
