Kristi

Kristi is a feminine given name of Latin origin, derived ultimately from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one, a translation of the Hebrew word for messiah. It developed as a Scandinavian and Estonian short form of Christina or Kristina, names that spread across Europe through early Christianity and the veneration of saints such as Christina of Bolsena. The name gained broader use in English-speaking countries during the twentieth century as an informal variant of Christie or Kristy. Related forms include Krista, Kristy, Christine, and Christina.
