About Christina

Christina, a pretty and feminine, crystal clear classic, may be trending downward, but it's never out of style and its extra syllable does keep it fresher feeling than Christine. Christina's short forms Chris, Christie, and Tina might seem date to some — but used in its full form, it possesses the strength and elegance of Diana, Josephine, and Ophelia.

A feminine form of Christian, with the same spiritual meaning, this name was borne by a number of early saints, and a 17th-century Swedish queen who was known for being a patron of the arts, and for giving up her crown to become a Roman Catholic.

Christina is now well represented by actresses Applegate, Ricci, and Mad Men's Hendricks, alongside singer Aguilera and Orphan Train novelist Baker Kline. Previous bearers include British poet Christina Rossetti and Australian novelist Christina Stead.

While Christina is out of style across Europe and Scandinavia and sits in the latter half of the US charts, it is possible that astronaut Christina Koch (who completed a mission to the moon in 2026) may inspire parents to reconsider the name. Plus, nicknames Kiki, Cece, Christa, Kit, Kitty, and Cricket might be appealing.

Christina is also given to boys.

Pronounced kris-TEEN-uh.

As of October 2026, Christina ranked #770 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #12 in 1985, Nameberry popularity #919.
