History & Origin

Christianna elaborates Christiana, the feminine of Christian, from Latin christianus ('Christian') and ultimately Greek christos, 'anointed'. Christiana has centuries of use across Europe, and appears memorably in Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. The doubled n here is a modern touch (said 'kris-tee-AN-uh').

In the U.S. it appears only very rarely for girls. Classic-rooted, flowing, and formal.

Did you know? Christiana is the name Bunyan gave the heroine of the second part of The Pilgrim's Progress — she sets out on the same road her husband walked. Christianna is that name with an extra flourish.
