Usage is rare but growing as a modern, largely unisex, nature-leaning choice in Dutch- and Afrikaans-speaking circles and in Indonesia; it also appears in English-speaking countries as a creative respelling or surname crossover. Some bearers treat Kersen as a variant of Kersten/Kirsten/Kerstin - North Germanic and Low German forms of Christian/Christina, ultimately from Greek Christos, “anointed,” hence “follower of Christ.” Related forms and near-variants include Kersten, Kirsten, Kerstin, Kristen, Kerson; short forms Kers and Sen. Thus Kersen can carry either a fresh botanical sense or the longstanding Christian-name heritage, depending on family tradition.
