Kristian

Kristian is the Scandinavian and Finnish form of Christian, itself derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which in turn traces back to the Greek Christos, meaning the anointed one. The name has been borne by numerous Danish and Norwegian kings, making it a deeply rooted royal name across Scandinavia. Closely related forms include Kristián in Czech and Slovak, as well as Christian, Cristian, and Kristen in various other European traditions.
