Kyrsten

Kyrsten is an English respelling of Kirsten, itself the Scandinavian and Low German form of Christina, derived from the Latin Christianus meaning "a Christian" or "follower of Christ," which in turn traces back to the Greek Christos, meaning "anointed one." The name entered Northern European usage as Christianity spread through Scandinavia and the Low Countries during the medieval period. Kyrsten is one of several phonetic respellings that emerged in modern English-speaking countries, alongside forms such as Kirsten, Kirstin, and Kristen.
