An uncommon Norse pick — distinctive and rare.
Alternative form of Kirsten.
Kyrstin is a girl's baby name of Norse origin, a variant spelling of Kirsten, the Scandinavian form of Christine, from the Latin Christiana meaning 'follower of Christ.'
Kyrstin's distinctive spelling — with the Y and unusual vowel combination — gives this clean Scandinavian name a more elaborate, personal look. It carries the same breezy Nordic character as Kirsten while standing distinctly apart from the standard spelling.
Kyrstin has 34+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 1973.
