Follower of Christ
Kirsten is the Scandinavian and German form of Christina. It ultimately derives from the Greek name Christos, which was used to translate the Hebrew word for Messiah. While it was highly popular in the United States during the 1970s and 80s, it has since become a rare and distinctive choice.
