Meaning & Story
A variant spelling of Christy or Christie, diminutives of Christine or Christopher, from Greek Khristos meaning anointed one or Christ. Christie carries warm, approachable energy and a familiar, friendly quality.
Christie is a name with the warm, unpretentious quality of a trusted friend — it has been a familiar nickname-name for several generations and wears its Christian heritage lightly. Crime fiction lovers will think of Agatha Christie, which adds a delicious layer of elegant mystery-solving intelligence to any pet lucky enough to bear it. A Christie is easy to be around, genuinely warm, and probably slightly better at solving problems than anyone gives them credit for.
