Krystian

US Popularity Rank: 8154

Origin: American

Meaning: Follower of Christ

From Christian Gray of 50 Shades of Gray fame to international soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo, it's pretty obvious that Christian has star power! Krystian presents a parent with an even cooler version, thanks to the modern k-r-y spelling! Krystian is an Americanized and Anglicized variation of stems from Latin and Greek roots and links back to the name Christian. As the original spelling suggests, it’s traditionally a religious name meaning "follower of Christ." It shares similar "cool vibe" qualities with other names such as Tristian, Chris, Dylan, Aidan, Rhys, and Julian. For some reason, these names point to someone relaxed, fun, and youthful... just like your little dude!
