Origin & Meaning
AI-WrittenShort form of Kristina, a Scandinavian and Baltic derivative of Christina, ultimately tracing to the Latin Christianus. The spelling arrived in American records in 1940, riding a midcentury preference for streamlined Nordic variants. By the late 1960s, American parents adopted the terminal -i in volume, giving an ancient religious root an unpretentious, casual finish.
