Khristin is in Origin.

Khristin is a modern, uncommon variant of Kristin/Christine, ultimately rooted in Greek Christos, “anointed,” from chrio “to anoint.” The Kh- reflects East Slavic transliteration practices for the Cyrillic Х in forms like Khristina (Russian) or Khrystyna (Ukrainian), giving the name a subtly Slavic flavor while preserving the same meaning: “follower of Christ” or “anointed one.” Through Latin Christina and widespread Christian usage, the name entered many European languages and later English.

Across Europe, saintly and royal bearers of Christina/Christine and the Scandinavian Kristin helped establish the name’s prestige, with strong Scandinavian and Germanic usage and later surges in the Anglophone world in the late 20th century. Khristin remains rare in English-speaking countries but appears in diaspora communities influenced by Slavic spelling. Related forms include Kristin, Kristen, Kirsten, Kristine, Kristina, Christina, Christine, Khristina, Khrystyna, Cristin, Krystin, and Krysten. Common nicknames are Kris, Kristi/Kristy, Tina, and Ina.
