Kristijan

Kristijan is the South Slavic form of Christian, ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which itself traces back to the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name spread throughout Europe with the growth of Christianity and was borne by numerous Scandinavian and Central European kings, giving it a long royal and ecclesiastical heritage. Related forms include the English Christian, the Scandinavian Kristian, the German Christoph-adjacent Cristian, and the Czech Křišťan.
