Christiano is Spanish in Origin.
Christiano is a learned variant of Cristiano, the Italian and Portuguese form of Latin Christianus, “a Christian; follower of Christ.” The added h mirrors the spelling of English Christian and echoes ecclesiastical Latin Christus, itself from Greek Khristos, “anointed.” While Cristiano is the mainstream Romance form, Christiano appears in Italy, the diaspora, and English-speaking contexts seeking a more explicitly “Christ-” spelling.
Medieval records across Europe list men named Christianus/Christian, aided by the spread of Christianity and numerous saints and clerics bearing the name. Today the h-less Cristiano dominates in Italy, Portugal, and Brazil, with Cristián in Spanish, Christian in English/Scandinavian, Kristian in Nordic use, Krystian in Polish, and Dutch/Afrikaans Christiaan. Short forms include Cris and Tiano; feminine counterparts include Christina/Christiana and Cristina/Christiane.
