Iiris-Kristiina is Finnish in Origin.
Iiris-Kristiina is a Finnish compound given name combining Iiris, the Finnish form of Iris, with Kristiina, the Finnish/Estonian form of Christina. Iris derives from Greek Iris, “rainbow” - name of the messenger goddess - and by extension the iris flower; it entered European naming in the 19th–20th centuries with nature-name fashions. Kristiina comes from Latin Christianus via Greek Christos, meaning “a follower of Christ”; its popularity in Finland was bolstered by Lutheran usage and the cultural presence of Sweden’s Queen Christina (Kristiina). Hyphenated double names have been customary in Finland since the early 20th century, peaking mid-century and seeing periodic revivals.
Variants include Iris (international) and Iiris (Finnish); for the second element, Christina/Christine, Kristina/Kristine, and the short form Tiina. In Estonia, both elements also appear. The combined meaning joins “rainbow”/iris flower with “follower of Christ,” evoking brightness and faith; either element may be used alone in daily life.
Iiris-Kristiina turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. It's the kind of name that tends to be rare, regional, or newly made up. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
