History & Origin

Khristie is a respelling of Christie or Kristy, short forms of Christine and Christina. The parent names trace to the Greek Christiana, 'a follower of Christ,' from Christos, 'anointed.' The Christine and Kristy names peaked in the nineteen-seventies, spawning many creative spellings, of which Khristie with its Kh- opening is among the rarer.

Khristie was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak around 1975, riding the coattails of the far more popular Kristy and Christy. A girl named Khristie then is now in her late forties, a product of the peak Christine era.

Did you know? The Kh- spelling mimics how names transliterate from Greek and Slavic scripts, giving the plain nickname Christie an unexpectedly worldly look.
