Meaning & Story
From the Greek name Christiana, meaning follower of Christ or anointed — a name with deep roots in the Christian tradition, carried with particular warmth through European cultures.
Christina is a name with the comfortable familiarity of a classic that has never stopped being lovely. It was enormously popular through the latter half of the 20th century, which means it carries the warm nostalgia of a name that many people associate with someone they liked very much. For a pet, it suggests a gentle, warm-hearted creature with an uncomplicated goodness — the dog who is simply, thoroughly nice, the cat who makes everyone feel comfortable. Christina is reliably excellent company.
