What is the meaning of the name Cristy ?

The baby name Cristy is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkrɪsti/ (KRIS-tee).

Cristy is English in Origin.

Cristy is a modern English spelling and pet form of Christina or Christine, ultimately from Greek Christos "anointed," via Latin Christina meaning "a Christian; follower of Christ." The clipped, h-less spelling reflects phonetic simplification and sometimes Spanish influence, since Cristy can also arise as a nickname for Cristina.

Usage grew in North America from the 1960s through the 1980s, when brisk -y/-ie diminutives were often bestowed as independent given names. In Irish and British contexts the close form Christy has long served as a male nickname for Christopher (Greek Christophoros, "Christ-bearer"); Cristy occasionally appears unisex by association but is chiefly feminine today. Common variants and cognates include Christy, Christie, Christi, Chrissy, Kristy, Kristi, Kristie, Cristi, Cristie, as well as the formal bases Christina, Christine, and Cristina. The name carries the warm Christian sense of devotion to or anointing by Christ while maintaining a bright, contemporary feel.
