Kristy-ann Origin and Meaning

The name Kristy-ann is a girl's name.

Kristy Ann is a feminine compound name combining two distinct elements. Kristy is a diminutive of Christina, derived from the Greek word 'christos' meaning 'anointed one,' while Ann comes from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' This double name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. The combination creates a name that sounds both familiar and sweetly traditional, with religious undertones from both Christian and Jewish traditions. As a compound name, it offers the formal quality of a double name with the approachable charm of Kristy. Though less common today than in previous decades, it maintains a timeless, graceful quality.
