Meaning & Story
Christy is a friendly diminutive of Christina or Christopher, both derived from the Greek 'Christos' — the anointed one, the title applied to Jesus. As a nickname it has a warm, approachable quality without the weight of the full name.
Christy is the kind of name that has been warming up rooms since the 1960s — friendly, easy, and genuinely nice in the truest sense of the word. It has a slightly preppy American sweetness that works beautifully for a cheerful, people-oriented dog. For a pet who is everybody's friend, who wags her tail at literally everyone, and who has never once met a stranger — Christy fits perfectly.
