Kristi

Kristi is a feminine given name functioning as a short form of Kristine or Kristina, which ultimately derive from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself rooted in the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name has been used across northern Europe, particularly in Scandinavia and Estonia, where it remains a common and independent given name rather than merely a nickname. Notable bearers include American figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi. Related forms include Kristy, Kristie, Kristina, and Christine.
