Cristian Origin and Meaning

The name Cristian is a boy's name of Spanish origin meaning "follower of Christ".

Both Christian and Cristian rank in the US Top 500 names for boys, and while the classic "Ch" spelling is used more than four times as often, Cristian is still given to more than 1000 boys each year, and is often used in the Hispanic community.

A popular choice in Italy, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Romania, and Uruguay, this spelling is notably borne by footballers Cristian Romero and Cristian Tello and by Mexican pop singer, Cristian Castro

In the US, Cristian may be viewed as a sleeker, more modern twist on the classic name, with a degree of separation between it and the name of the religion, which may appeal to some parents.
