Marie-Kristine is Germanic, Latin in Origin.

Marie-Kristine is a modern compound feminine given name combining Marie, the French form of Mary (from Hebrew Miryam), and Kristine, a Germanic/Nordic spelling of Christine (from Greek Christos, “anointed,” hence “follower of Christ”). The blend carries devotional overtones, often interpreted as “Mary, follower of Christ” or, drawing on common glosses of Miryam, “beloved follower of Christ.”

Compound Mary–Christine names circulated across Catholic Europe from the 1700s; Marie-Christine peaked in French-speaking countries in the mid-20th century, while the K-spelling spread in Norway, Denmark, Germany, and the Baltics after the 1950s. Variants and close forms include Marie-Christine, Mary Christine, Maria Christina, Mari-Kristin, Marit Kristine, and Kristin-Marie; short forms range from Marie, Rie, Mimi, Kris, Stine, Tina, and Ina. The hyphen signals a single unit in many European registries, though spacing (Marie Kristine) occurs in Scandinavian records.
