Kristina

Kristina is a Scandinavian and Slavic feminine form of the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself derived from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name spread widely across Europe during the medieval period through Christian religious influence, and was borne notably by Queen Kristina of Sweden in the seventeenth century, a celebrated intellectual and patron of the arts. Closely related forms include Christina, Christine, Kristine, and Kirsten, all sharing the same Latin and Greek roots.
