Kristan Origin and Meaning

The name Kristan is a boy's name.

Kristan is a masculine variation of the name Kristen or Christian, with roots in Latin through the Greek word "Christianos," meaning "follower of Christ." This name represents a modern masculine adaptation of names that have historically been used for both genders but became predominantly feminine in the late 20th century. With its strong consonants and clean ending, Kristan offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Christian. Though relatively uncommon, it shares appeal with other -an ending masculine names like Kieran, Ethan, and Jordan. The name carries associations of strength and faith while maintaining a contemporary sound that works well across various cultural backgrounds.
