Krist is a Scandinavian name of Norse origin, meaning 'Christian' or 'follower of Christ'. It's predominantly used as a boys' name but can also be found occasionally for girls in some countries. The name has been popular in Scandinavia for centuries and has seen recent international recognition due to its simplicity and uniqueness.
Krist appears to have seen a dip in popularity during the late 1960s and early 1970s, with only five births recorded each year from 1966 to 1971. However, there was a notable increase in its usage in 1977, with seven births registered that year. Overall, Krist has been given to 37 newborns over this period.
