Christi-ann
Christi-ann Origin and Meaning
Christi Ann is a feminine compound name combining two distinct elements. Christi derives from Christian or Christina, ultimately from Greek meaning 'follower of Christ,' while Ann comes from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace.' This double name gained modest popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s-1970s. Christi Ann reflects the tradition of double names common in Southern American naming customs. The name carries religious undertones while maintaining a friendly, approachable quality. Though less common today than in previous decades, Christi Ann offers nostalgic charm while maintaining feminine elegance. Parents might choose this name to honor family members named Christine/Christina and Ann/Anne or to continue cultural traditions of melodic double names.
