Khristine is Greek in Origin.

Khristine is a creative modern spelling of the feminine name rooted in Greek Christína (from Khristós, “anointed”), yielding the meaning “follower of Christ” or “belonging to the anointed one.” The initial Kh highlights a transliteration of the Greek letter chi (Χ), paralleling scholarly spellings like “Khristos,” while also blending the familiar English/French Christine with K-forms such as Kristine. Pronunciation typically matches Christine/Kristine: kris-TEEN.

Carried across Europe by several saints - most notably Saint Christina of Bolsena and the medieval mystic Christina the Astonishing - the Christine/Christina family flourished in medieval usage and rose sharply in Anglophone countries in the 1960s–80s. Khristine itself is rare but documented from the late 20th century, seen especially in the Philippines and in Slavic-influenced contexts. Related forms include Christine, Christina, Kristine, Kristina, Cristina, Kirsten, Kerstin, and Hristina; diminutives include Chris/Kris, Christie/Christy/Kristy, and Tina.
