Kristiina

Kristiina is the Finnish and Estonian feminine form of Christina, ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which in turn comes from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name entered Scandinavian and Finnic naming traditions through the spread of Christianity across northern Europe. Kristiina has been a consistently popular given name in Finland and Estonia, reflecting the deep roots of Lutheran Christian culture in both countries. Related forms include Kristina, Kaarina, and Christina.
