Kristine is in Origin.
Kristine is the Scandinavian and Germanic spelling of Christine, ultimately from Latin Christianus, itself from Greek christianos, meaning a Christian or follower of Christ, derived from Christos, anointed. The K reflects Northern European orthography, though the name is also used in English-speaking contexts. The meaning centers on Christian identity and devotion, and it shares the long cultural heritage of the broader Christina/Christine family.
Use is attested across Europe since the Middle Ages through the veneration of saintly Christinas, with the Kristine form especially common in Norway, Denmark, Germany, and the Baltic states (notably Latvian Kristīne). It rose in North America in the mid-20th century alongside Kristen and Kristin. Variants include Christine, Christina, Kristina, Kristin, Kristen, Kirsten, Kirstine, Krystyna, and Kristín; diminutives and short forms include Kris, Kristy, Stine, Tina, and Kiki.
