feminine · English (Modern) origin
Krysten is a modern English respelling of Kristen, itself the Scandinavian form of Christina, which derives from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, ultimately rooted in the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The altered spelling reflects a broader 20th-century trend in English-speaking countries of personalizing traditional names through unconventional orthography. Closely related forms include Kristen, Kristin, Christine, and Christina.
