Kyrsten

Kyrsten is an English feminine name functioning as a phonetic spelling variant of Kirsten, itself the Scandinavian and Low German form of Christina. Christina derives from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, which in turn traces back to the Greek Khristos, the anointed one. The respelled form reflects modern English tendencies to render names with unconventional orthography while preserving the original pronunciation. Related forms include Kirsten, Kristen, Kristin, and Christine.
