Kirstine

Kirstine is a Danish feminine form of Christina, which derives from Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself rooted in the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name has been in steady use in Scandinavia for centuries, carried by ordinary bearers and occasionally by notable Danish women in literature and public life. Closely related forms include Kirsten, Kristine, Christine, and the Scottish Kirsteen, all tracing back to the same Latin and Greek source.
