Khristina is of Greek origin, derived from the word 'Christine', which means 'follower of Christ'. It is often associated with Christian faith and spirituality. The name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, peaking in usage in the 1980s before declining in recent years. Khristina is typically pronounced /krəˈstɪnə/ and can be shortened to Kris or Tina. It is often spelled with a 'K' instead of the more traditional 'CH', giving it a modern twist.
The name Khristina has shown significant fluctuations in popularity over the past six decades. Its highest point was in 1973 with 45 births, followed by a steady decline until the mid-1990s. Since then, it has remained relatively consistent but at much lower numbers, with only 5 births in both 2014 and 2015. In total, there have been 1256 births named Khristina between 1962 and 2019.
