feminine · English (Modern) origin
Cristen is a modern English feminine form ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself built on the Greek Christos, the anointed one, a translation of the Hebrew Mashiach. The name belongs to the large family of Christ-related given names that spread widely across Europe following the Christianization of the continent. Closer variants include Kristen, Kristin, Christine, and Christina, all of which share the same Latin and Greek roots.
