<p>Karsten as a feminine name is a very unusual usage of what is traditionally a masculine name of Germanic and Scandinavian origin. Derived from the name Carsten, itself a variant of Christian, Karsten means 'follower of Christ' or 'anointed one.' While predominantly used for boys in Northern European countries, particularly Germany, Denmark, and Norway, its occasional feminine usage represents the modern trend of gender-crossing names. The feminine application is extremely rare and typically found in North America where Germanic names have sometimes been adapted beyond their traditional gender associations. Despite its strong consonants, the name has a certain melodic quality that can work for girls, though parents choosing it for a daughter are making a distinctly unconventional choice.</p>
