Stiina

Stiina is a Finnish feminine name functioning as a short form of Kristiina, itself the Finnish adaptation of Christina. Christina derives from the Latin Christinus, meaning follower of Christ, which traces back to the Greek Christos, meaning anointed. The name has long been used in Finland as an informal everyday variant alongside the fuller form Kristiina. Related forms include Stina, common in Swedish and other Scandinavian traditions, as well as Tiina, another Finnish short form of the same root.
