What is the meaning of the name Kristi ?

The baby name Kristi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KRIS-tee (IPA: /ˈkrɪsti/).

Kristi is Greek in Origin.

Kristi is a modern English and Scandinavian feminine form and short variant of Christina/Kristina, ultimately from Greek Christos via Latin Christus, meaning “anointed” and by extension “follower of Christ.” In the Nordic sphere, it functions as an independent given name derived from Kristín/Kristine; in Estonian it is widely used alongside cognates.

Usage rose sharply in the United States during the late 1960s and 1970s, aligning with the popularity of Kris- and Christ- names, then declined after the 1990s. The name remains familiar in Norway, Sweden, and Estonia, where diminutives and parallels include Kris, Kristy, Kristie, Christie, Christy, Krista, Kristin, Kristine, Kirsti, Kirsty, Kersti, and Kjersti; related spellings include Christi and Krysti. Though primarily feminine, the base element Kris can be unisex. Kristi conveys a friendly, approachable tone while retaining a classical Christian heritage.
