Kristagis is in Origin.

Kristagis is a rare modern hybrid name combining the Krist- element from Greek Khristós (“anointed; Christ”), familiar across Slavic and Baltic forms (Kristaps, Kristijonas), with -agis/-gis, a masculine ending common in Baltic short forms (e.g., Algis). Many readers also hear an echo of the Germanic noun agis ‘awe, reverence’ (attested in Gothic and Old Norse). As a result, the name is often interpreted as “awe of Christ,” “one who reveres Christ,” or more broadly “belonging to Christ.”

Documented usage is very scarce; the name does not appear in traditional medieval or early modern onomastic records and surfaces mainly in contemporary creative naming, diaspora communities with Baltic or Germanic ties, and occasional fictional worlds. Variant spellings include Christagis (Ch-), Kristagys/Kristagijs, and shortened forms such as Kris or Gis. It is typically masculine but could be used unisex in modern practice. Related names by element include Christian/Kristian and Algis.
