History & Origin
Christia is a feminine name on the Christ- root, a lighter cousin of Christina and Christiana from the Greek for 'anointed'. Such devout forms appeared throughout the twentieth century in Christian families.
Christia stayed uncommon, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high points and never widespread. A Christia from mid-century would be a grandmother now, and the name has a soft, faithful sound close to the more familiar Christina.
