Cristian

Cristian is the Romanian, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese form of Christian, ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which itself traces back to the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name spread widely across Europe through the influence of Christianity, and its bearers include numerous saints and several Scandinavian kings, though the form Cristian took root especially in the Romance-language sphere. Related forms include Christian, Cristiano, Cristóbal, and the accented Spanish variant Cristián.
