Stiina

Stiina is a Finnish and Estonian feminine name that developed as a short form of Kristiina, itself the Finnic adaptation of Christina, ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus meaning follower of Christ, which traces back to the Greek Christos, the anointed one. The name has been in steady use in Finland and Estonia as an independent given name rather than merely a nickname. Related forms include Kristiina, Tiina, and Stina, the last being a common Scandinavian equivalent.
