Kristiin is Greek in Origin.
Kristiin is an Estonian feminine given name, a streamlined variant of Kristiina/Kristin shaped by Estonian orthography, where the doubled i signals a long vowel. Like its cognates, it descends from Latin Christianus (via Greek Christianos, from Christos “anointed”), yielding the sense “a Christian; follower of Christ.” The base feminine line in Europe appears as Christina/Christine and spread widely through Christian naming traditions.
In the Baltic and Nordic world the name entered through German and Swedish influence and persisted in Lutheran communities, later finding favor in Estonia as a crisp modern form. Related variants include Kristiina (Estonian, Finnish), Kristin (Nordic, English), Kristine (Scandinavian), Kristina (Slavic, Baltic), Kristína (Icelandic, Slovak), and Christina/Christine (English, French, German). Estonian nicknames and short forms include Kris, Kristi, and Tiina. A masculine counterpart is Kristjan (Estonian) or Christian/Kristian elsewhere.
