Kastina

Familiar in sound yet rarely actually heard, Kastina is a name with a variety of different origins. On one hand, it may be a Norwegian feminine form of the Germanic Karsten, ultimately borrowed from the Christian, meaning "follower of Christ" or "anointed". Alternative, it may be a variation of the Latin Castus, referring to someone "chaste" or "pure", though it could equally derive from Constans (vias Konstantina and Kostina), giving it another meaning: "steadfast".

There is a possibility that it is a twist on Katsina, a state in Nigeria, or an adaption of Katherine via Katerina, Katazyna, or Kasia.
