Hristiyan

Hristiyan is the Bulgarian form of the Latin name Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself derived from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one, which translates the Hebrew title Mashiach. The name spread widely across Europe through the influence of Christianity, carried by saints and medieval kings alike. Related forms include Christian in English and other Western languages, Cristian in Spanish and Romanian, and Khristian in Russian contexts.
