Kristina

Kristina is a Latinate feminine form ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning belonging to Christ, which itself traces back to the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name spread throughout Europe as a result of Christian religious influence and has been borne by several Scandinavian royals, most notably Queen Christina of Sweden in the seventeenth century. It functions as the standard or common spelling across a wide range of languages including Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, Czech, Estonian, and several South Slavic languages. Closely related forms include Christina, Kristīna, Kristína, Krisztina, and the masculine Kristian.
