Kristjan is a Scandinavian and Estonian form of the Latin name Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself derived from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name spread widely across Europe through Christian missionary activity in the medieval period. It is the standard form in Iceland and Estonia, closely related to the Danish and Norwegian Kristian, the Swedish Kristian, and the broader family of cognates including Christian, Cristian, and Krisztián.
