A feminine given name of Greek origin meaning 'follower of Christ' or 'Christian woman'.
From Greek Χριστίνα (Khristina), derived from Χριστός (Khristos) meaning 'anointed one' or Christ. The name spread through Christian communities and became popular in medieval Europe, evolving through Latin Christina into various modern forms.
Christina demonstrates how religious names became secular over time - while originally marking someone as a Christian convert, it's now chosen for its pleasant sound rather than religious significance. The name has spawned numerous variations across cultures, from Christine to Kristina to Tina, showing how names adapt to different linguistic patterns.
