Kirsti

Kirsti is a Finnish feminine name functioning as a vernacular form of Christina, which derives from Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself built on the Greek Christos, the anointed one, a translation of Hebrew Mashiach. The name has been in steady use in Finland and across the Nordic countries, where short, clipped forms of longer Christian names became common in folk tradition. Related forms include Kirsten, Kirsty, Kristiina, and Christine.
