Kristan

Kristan Origin and Meaning

The name Kristan is a girl's name.

Kristan is a feminine variant of the male name Christian, derived from the Latin 'Christianus' meaning 'a follower of Christ.' This name carries religious connotations while maintaining a modern feel with its distinctive spelling. Kristan emerged as a contemporary alternative to the more traditional Christina or Christine, offering a unique twist with the 'an' ending instead of the more common 'en' or 'ine.' Though less common than its variants, Kristan has maintained a steady presence in English-speaking countries since the mid-20th century. The name combines spiritual significance with a strong, feminine sound, making it appealing to parents seeking a name with Christian roots but a contemporary edge.
