Cristia is of Latin origin, meaning 'follower of Christ'. It is a unisex name, traditionally more common among women but also used for boys. The name Cristia is often seen as a variant spelling of Cristina or Christina, yet it stands distinctively on its own. In the past few decades, Cristia has gained popularity, particularly in some European countries, due to its unique sound and connection to Christian tradition.
"Cristia was quite popular as a baby girl's name in 1986 with five babies being named that year."
