About Christien
Christien is an uncommon feminine variation of Christian, ultimately derived from the Latin 'Christianus' meaning 'a follower of Christ.' This particular spelling blends elements of the masculine Christian with feminine forms like Christine or Christen. While traditionally a masculine name in most cultures, the -en ending gives it a softer quality that works well as a feminine option in contemporary naming contexts. Christien remains rare as a given name for girls in English-speaking countries, offering distinctiveness while still being recognizable and straightforward to pronounce. The name carries inherent religious significance for Christian families while also functioning well in secular contexts due to its modern sound pattern and connection to virtue names.
Christien is also given to boys.
Pronounced KRIS-chun.
As of October 2026, Christien ranked #11231 in US births in 2001 SSA, peaked at #4345 in 1967.
