Christian or follower of Christ
Karston is a modern American variant of the Scandinavian and Germanic name Karsten, which is a Low German form of Christian. It ultimately derives from the Greek name Christianos, signifying a follower of Christ. While the 'K' spelling gives it a contemporary edge, it retains deep roots in Northern European tradition.
