Kyirsten is Latin, Scandinavian in Origin.

Kyirsten is a modern creative respelling of Kirsten/Kiersten, the Danish–Norwegian and Low German form of Christina/Christine. The name ultimately stems from Greek Christos, “anointed,” via Christianos, “follower of Christ,” giving Kyirsten the meaning “follower of Christ” or “anointed.” In English, it is typically pronounced KEER-sten or KYER-sten, with the y emphasizing the first syllable. The spelling with yi likely arose in North America to freshen a familiar Scandinavian classic while preserving its sound.

Kirsten is well attested in medieval and early modern Scandinavia and northern Germany, spreading through Hanseatic trade networks; Swedish Kerstin and German Kerstin/Kirstin became staples, while English-speaking countries embraced Kirsten and Kiersten in the late 20th century.
