Kristine

Kristine is a Scandinavian and Germanic form of the Latin name Christina, itself derived from the Greek Christianos, meaning follower of Christ, from the name Christos, meaning anointed one. The name spread widely throughout medieval Europe through the veneration of early Christian saints and martyrs bearing the name. It remains common across Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany, and has also been adopted in English-speaking countries as a spelling variant. Closely related forms include Christine, Christina, Kristina, Kirsten, and the Latvian Kristīne.
