Christi Origin and Meaning

The name Christi is a girl's name.

Christi is a feminine name primarily used as a diminutive form of Christina or Christine, both derived from the Latin 'Christianus,' meaning 'follower of Christ.' This shorter variant gained independent usage particularly during the 1960s and 1970s in the United States, reflecting the trend toward abbreviated forms as given names. Christi has a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining its connection to Christian heritage. The name may also be used as a spelling variation of Kristy or Kristie. While its peak popularity has passed, Christi continues to be chosen by parents who appreciate its religious connotations, its brevity, and its sweet, unpretentious charm. The name carries a somewhat retro feel today, evoking the casual warmth of late 20th century naming patterns.
