Stine

Stine is a Scandinavian feminine name, used primarily in Danish and Norwegian, that developed as a short form of Christine or Kristine, themselves derived from the Latin Christianus and ultimately from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed one, a reference to Jesus Christ. The name has long been popular in Denmark and Norway as a standalone given name rather than merely a nickname. Its fuller forms include Kristine and Christine, and it is closely related to the German Stina as well as the broader family of Christina variants found across Europe.
