History & Origin

Khristine respells Christine with a striking 'Kh.' Christine derives from the Latin Christiana, 'follower of Christ,' from Greek christos, 'anointed.' The alternative spelling is a late-century way to freshen a classic without changing its sound or sense.

Khristine reached its small peak around 1970 and then faded. It reads as a period respelling of Christine; the standard spelling remains far better known, while the Kh- form stays a rarity of its era.

Did you know? The Kh- opening is a modern flourish; the name beneath it is the long-established Christine, a feminine of Christian.
