What is the meaning of the name Khristie ?

Khristie is English in Origin.

Khristie is a modern, rare respelling of Kristie/Christie, a pet form of Christina or Christine (and occasionally Christopher). The name traces to Greek Christos, “anointed,” which passed into Latin as Christus and Christianus, “a Christian; follower of Christ.” The initial Kh reflects Slavic and Greek transliteration conventions for the Greek letter chi, seen in forms like Khristos and Ukrainian Khrystyna, lending the name an Eastern European flavor while retaining the familiar English nickname ending.

As a given name, Kristie/Christie-style diminutives rose in English-speaking countries in the mid-20th century, peaking from the 1960s to 1980s; the Kh- variant remains uncommon and typically unranked. Related formal names include Christina, Christine, Kristina, and the Scottish Kirsty. Close variants and spellings include Christie, Christy, Kristie, Kristy, Krystie, Khristy, and Khrystie. The meaning is commonly given as “follower of Christ” or, by root, “the anointed one.”
