Stine

Stine is a Scandinavian feminine name, specifically common in Danish and Norwegian, that originated as a short form of Christine and its variants. Christine derives ultimately from Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one. The name has been widely used in Denmark and Norway for centuries as an independent given name in its own right. Related forms include Signe, Tine, and the fuller Christine or Kristine.
