Khristien is Greek in Origin.

Khristien is a rare modern variant of the Christian/Christien name family, ultimately rooted in Greek Christos (Χριστός, "anointed") and Latin Christianus ("follower of Christ"). The initial Kh reflects scholarly and East Slavic transliteration of Greek chi, familiar from Khristos, while the -ien ending parallels French Christien (masculine) and Dutch Christien (feminine). As a result, Khristien reads as a contemporary, largely unisex form.

Documented use surfaces in late 20th–early 21st-century records, typically in English-speaking communities seeking a distinctive, faith-marked spelling or in diasporas with Slavic or Francophone ties. Meaning centers on "Christian; follower of Christ," by extension "belonging to the Anointed One." Close variants and cognates include Christian, Cristian, Christien, Christiaan (Dutch), Kristian/Kristjan (Scandinavian, Baltic), Krystian (Polish), and the feminine line Christine, Christina, Khristina, Kristina, and Kristine.
