Kristie
Kristie Origin and Meaning
Kristie is a feminine name primarily used in English-speaking countries as a diminutive or variant of Christine, Christina, or Kristen. Derived from the Latin 'Christiana,' it ultimately traces back to Greek roots meaning 'follower of Christ.' Kristie enjoyed significant popularity in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, reflecting the era's preference for friendly, approachable names ending with the 'ie' sound. The spelling with 'K' rather than 'Ch' gives it a slightly more modern feel than Christie. While its usage has declined since its peak, Kristie maintains an accessible, friendly quality that balances familiarity with relative distinctiveness. The name evokes a cheerful, unpretentious personality and carries nostalgic associations for many.
