Christie

Christie is an English and Scottish short form of Christina or Christine, which derive from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself rooted in the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name gained widespread use in Scotland, where it functioned as both a feminine and masculine given name. The crime writer Agatha Christie, though bearing it as a surname, helped bring broad international recognition to the form. Related names include Christina, Christine, Christopher, and Christy.
