Origin & history of Kristi1
Greek roots
Kristi is a streamlined spelling of Christy, ultimately a nickname form of Christina or Kristin — all from the Latin Christianus, meaning follower of Christ, itself from the Greek Christos (anointed one). The K-spelling and the i-ending make Kristi a quintessentially 1960s-70s American name, part of a broader trend toward fresh, modern-looking spellings of classical Christian names. Kristi peaked sharply in the early 1970s and has a particular mid-century brightness.
