Kristiina is Estonian, Finnish in Origin.
Kristiina is the Finnish and Estonian feminine form of Christina/Kristina, ultimately from Latin Christianus meaning “a Christian, follower of Christ,” derived from Greek Christos, “anointed.” The spelling with double i fits Finnic phonology and helps distinguish it from neighboring Scandinavian forms. Pronounced kris-TEE-nah, with a long ii in Finnish and Estonian.
Use spread through Northern Europe via medieval saints named Christina and was later amplified by Sweden’s Queen Christina (Finnish: Kristiina), commemorated in Finnish place names like Kristiinankaupunki. The given name peaked in Finland and Estonia during the mid-to-late 20th century and endures as a familiar classic. International variants include Christina, Cristina, Kristina, Kristīna, Kristin, and Kristine. Local short forms and related names include Tiina, Riina, Krisse, Kirsi, Kristi, Krista, and Kristel.
