Christi

/ˈkrɪsti/ noun

Definition

genitive form of Christ, often used in place names meaning 'of Christ'

Etymology

from Latin Christi, genitive of Christus 'Christ'

Kelly Says

You'll see this in place names like Corpus Christi, which means 'Body of Christ' in Latin. It's the possessive form, so it's basically saying 'belonging to Christ' - pretty common in Christian naming traditions!
