Kristian

Kristian is a masculine name that is a variant spelling of the more common Christian.

Both names ultimately derive from the Greek word 'Christos', which means "anointed" and refers to Jesus Christ.

The name was originally given to children who were born on or around Christmas day, as a way to commemorate the birth of Christ.

Over time, it became a popular name choice for boys in many Christian cultures, with various spellings like Kristian emerging in different regions.
