christan is Greek in Origin.

Christan is a modern English variant of Christian, ultimately from Latin Christianus, “a follower of Christ,” itself based on Greek Christos, “anointed.” The form entered English through Old French Crestien and Middle English Cristen/Christen, and the dropped second i in Christan reflects a streamlined contemporary spelling rather than a different root.

While Christian has been used across Europe since late antiquity as a baptismal and royal name, Christan appears mainly in modern English-language records, rare but steady from the late 20th century. It is most often masculine, though occasionally unisex under the influence of Kristen/Kristan. International counterparts include Christian, Cristian (Spanish), Cristiano (Italian, Portuguese), Kristian (Scandinavian, Slavic), Krystian (Polish), Kristjan (Estonian, Slovene), and Icelandic Kristján; related feminine forms are Christina, Christine, Kristin, and Kirsten. Common short forms are Chris, Kris, Chrissy/Christy. Meaning remains consistent across variants: a person who professes or follows Christ.
