Crystine is English, Greek in Origin.
Crystine is a modern, ornamental respelling of Christine, itself the French form of Latin Christina, from Christianus, derived from Greek Christos meaning anointed. The name therefore signifies a Christian or follower of Christ. Christine and Christina have deep roots across Europe, borne by saints and nobility and adopted into English from the Middle Ages, with renewed popularity in the 19th and mid-20th centuries; notable bearers include Queen Christina of Sweden and numerous saints named Christina/Christine.
Crystine preserves the same pronunciation as Christine (kris-TEEN) but substitutes y, a trend influenced by names like Crystal that lends a contemporary feel. It is rare, chiefly seen in North America from the late 20th century. Related variants include Christine, Christina, Cristina (Spanish/Italian/Portuguese), Kristine, Kristina, Kristin (Scandinavian and German), Cristine, and Chrystine/Krystine. Common diminutives are Chris, Chrissy, Christie, Tina, and Stine.
