Hi Kirstin!Your name is a Low German and Scandinavian form of the name Christina. In Denmark and Germany it is pronounced kEErs-teen. In Sweden it is pronounced tchEErsh-teen.

I found it in a baby name book under Kristen which was Danish and meant Christian Follower, but in another baby name book it was scandanavian. But, in every book I've ever seen it means annointed or christian follower.
