Khrystyna

US Popularity Rank: 12000

Origin: Ukrainian

Meaning: Follower of Christ

Khrystyna is a Ukrainian name for girls. But peel it back, and you’ll find Latin at its heart. This helps one translate it as “follower of Christ.” Two personalities worthy of mention are gymnast and decorated Olympian Khrystyna Pohranychna, and activist Khrystyna Alchevska, who advocated for national education in Imperial Russia. So whether or not you’re religious, this name illustrates just how far baby can go if they believe in something.
