A Christian; follower of Christ
Keirstyn is a modern creative spelling of Kirsten, which is the Scandinavian form of Christina. It ultimately derives from the Latin name Christianus, meaning a follower of Christ. This specific spelling variation gained some traction in the United States during the late 20th century as parents sought unique ways to render traditional names.
