Kirstin is a feminine name of Scandinavian origin, representing a Norse variant of Christina, ultimately derived from the Greek word 'christianos' meaning 'follower of Christ.' Popular throughout Scandinavia and Scotland, Kirstin offers a distinctly northern European alternative to Christine or Kristin. The name reached modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s but has since declined in usage. In Scotland and Nordic countries, various spellings including Kirsten, Kiersten, and Kjersten maintain cultural significance. Kirstin combines traditional religious roots with a crisp, modern sound. The name conveys strength and clarity with its sharp consonants while maintaining feminine qualities.
