Krystina

Krystina is an English spelling variant of Christina, itself the feminine form of the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, derived from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name reflects a broader pattern of phonetic respelling that became popular in modern English-speaking countries, substituting the K for the traditional Ch. Christina has been borne by numerous saints and royals, most notably Christina of Sweden, the 17th-century queen who abdicated her throne. Related forms include Kristina, Christine, Cristina, and Christiana.
