Kristiyan

Kristiyan is a Bulgarian masculine given name derived from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which itself traces back to the Greek Christos, the anointed one. It is the Bulgarian form of the widespread European name Christian, borne by numerous kings, saints, and theologians throughout Christian history. Related forms in other languages include Kristian in Scandinavian and Estonian, Christian in English, French, and German, and Hristo, a distinctly Bulgarian short form drawn from the same Greek root.
