History & Origin

Christeen is a variant of Christine, itself from the Latin Christiana, 'follower of Christ'. Christine and its family have been used for centuries; Christeen is a phonetic form that spells out the -een sound, and it saw quiet use for American girls in the early twentieth century.

It reached its high point around 1928, earlier than Christine's mid-century peak, and stayed uncommon. A woman named Christeen at that peak would be nearing a hundred. Christine remains the standard; Chris, Chrissy and Tina all carry over as short forms.

Did you know? Christeen writes Christine the way it sounds, with a plain -een; the spelling turns up in early-twentieth-century records well before the big mid-century Christine wave, peaking around 1928.
