Kersin is in Origin.

Kersin is a modern, uncommon variant of Kerstin/Kirstin, names rooted in the Scandinavian and German traditions and cognate with Christina and Kristina. The lineage runs from Latin Christianus and Greek Christianos, "a Christian, follower of Christ," ultimately from Christos, "anointed." As such, Kersin carries the meanings "anointed" and "follower of Christ," with a primarily feminine profile though occasionally treated as unisex in contemporary use.

The wider family has been established since the Middle Ages through veneration of Saint Christina, with Kerstin especially familiar in Sweden (peaking in the mid-20th century) and Kirsten widespread in Denmark and Norway. Kersin surfaces chiefly in late-20th and 21st-century records as a creative respelling, sometimes chosen for its crisp, two-syllable sound. Related forms and variants include Kerstin, Kirsten, Kirstin, Kristin, Kristine, Kersten, Kiersten, Kjerstin, Christina, and Kristina; common diminutives are Stina, Tina, and Kris.
