Kjerstin

Kjerstin is a Scandinavian feminine name, a Norwegian and Swedish contracted form of Kristin, which itself derives from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, ultimately rooted in the Greek Khristos, the anointed one. The name has been in steady use in Norway and Sweden for centuries, carried by ordinary women across generations rather than attached to any single famous historical figure. Closely related forms include Kerstin, Kirsten, Kristin, and Christina.
