What is the meaning of the name Christie ?

The baby name Christie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkrɪsti/ — KRIS-tee.

Christie is Greek in Origin.

Christie is an English diminutive formed from the Christian-name family, ultimately from Greek Christos "anointed," via Latin Christianus "follower of Christ." As a pet form it most often shortens Christine or Christina, though it can also stem from Christopher or Christian, and in Scotland it overlaps with the surname Christie (from the same root), reinforcing its independent use.

In use since at least the 18th-19th centuries in Britain - often unisex in Scotland but mainly feminine elsewhere - Christie enjoyed broad popularity in the United States, Britain, and Australia from the 1960s through the 1980s before receding. Variant spellings and cognates include Christy, Kristy, Kristi, Kristie, Chrissie/Chrissy; related forms are Christine, Christina, Kristen, Kirsten, and Scottish Kirsty. The Irish masculine Christy is a parallel short form of Christopher. Literary associations with the surname of Agatha Christie lend the name a brisk, classic polish.
