Christia is a name of Greek origin, derived from the word "christos," which means "anointed" or "messiah." It is often used as a feminine form of Christ, the English version of the Greek word. The name has been gaining popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States and Europe. Christia is typically pronounced /ˈkrɪstʃə/ in English-speaking countries. In other languages, its pronunciation may vary; for example, it is pronounced /krisˈti.a/ in Italian. The name has no regular patron saint or feast day associated with it, as it is not a traditional Christian name like Christine or Christina. Instead, people named Christia often celebrate their birthdays or choose a personal name day based on their own preferences and family traditions.
"Christia had only one year with notable birth numbers - 1989 saw 82 newborns bearing this unique name."
