History & Origin

Christin normally belongs to the Christina/Kristin family, but recorded for a boy it reads as a shortened Christian or Christopher - names from Greek Christos, 'the Anointed', giving the senses 'follower of Christ' and 'Christ-bearer'.

As a boys' entry it is very rare and looks late-twentieth-century, only a handful a year around its high near 1991. The male reading is best treated cautiously, likely a clip of Christian rather than a settled name.

Did you know? Christin is far more common as a girls' short form of Christina or Kristin; its appearance on the boys' rolls is unusual and probably a trimmed Christian.
