Cristan is a unisex name of Latin origin, meaning "follower of Christ". It's a modern variant of the classic Christian name Christopher. The name gained popularity during the mid-20th century and has since become a staple in many English-speaking countries. Cristan is often associated with the religious connotations of its root name but also carries a unique charm due to its modern twist.
The name Cristan experienced varying popularity over the years, with a noticeable peak in the late 1970s to early 1980s when births ranged from 10 to 19 annually. However, it seems the name's popularity has since declined, with fewer than 10 births per year recorded after 1993, and a total of 203 births over the entire period.
