Christene is a feminine name of Latin origin meaning “follower of Christ.” This name’s story begins many centuries ago, with the Ancient Greek word christós meaning “messiah.” One word grew into a group of names carried by people around the world, a lovely legacy for your little Christene to follow. The gentle “e” sound in Christene sets it apart from its more common variant, Christine, just as your baby will always pave their own path in life.
