Kristine

Kristine is a Scandinavian and Germanic form of Christina, itself derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which in turn traces back to the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name spread widely across Europe through early Christian devotion and the veneration of saints such as Christina of Bolsena. It remains a common given name throughout Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany, as well as among English speakers. Related forms include Christine, Christina, Kristina, Kristin, and the Latvian variant Kristīne.
