Kristyn

Kristyn is an English variant spelling of Kristin, itself a Scandinavian and medieval European form of the Latin name Christina, derived from the Greek Christianos, meaning follower of Christ or anointed one. The underlying root traces back to the Greek Christos, a translation of the Hebrew Mashiach, meaning anointed. The name was widely adopted across medieval Europe through the veneration of early saints, most notably Saint Christina the Astonishing. Related forms include Christine, Kristina, Kristen, and Kirstin.
