Krista

Krista is a short form of Kristina or Kristiina, ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which in turn comes from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name gained widespread use across northern and central Europe, particularly in German-speaking, Scandinavian, and Baltic countries. Related forms include Christa, Kristina, Kristine, and Kirsten.
