Khristena Origin and Meaning

The name Khristena is a girl's name.

Khristena is a feminine name representing a creative spelling variation of Christina or Kristina. The traditional name derives from Greek origins meaning 'follower of Christ' or 'anointed one.' This particular spelling with 'Kh' at the beginning and 'e' instead of 'i' in the middle syllable gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining similar pronunciation to more common versions. The 'Kh' spelling mimics the transliteration of Cyrillic or Greek characters, potentially suggesting Eastern European or Orthodox Christian influences. While relatively uncommon, this spelling variant emerged as part of the trend toward personalized spelling of traditional names. Parents might choose this spelling to give their daughter a familiar name with a unique visual identity.
