Christi

Christi is a feminine given name that is commonly used as a standalone name or as a shortened form of Christina or Christine. It is most frequently found in English-speaking countries and in parts of Europe.

Christi and its longer forms Christina and Christine originate from Latin Christianus, meaning "a Christian" or "follower of Christ," itself derived from the Greek christos meaning "anointed." The spelling Christi reflects a modern, compact variant that preserves the root while offering a distinct identity.

Variants and related names include Christie, Christy, Christina, Christine, and Christa. The name Christi is used for girls, and occasionally as a nickname or middle name; less commonly, it can appear as a surname.

There are several public figures and fictional characters named Christi, reflecting its presence in contemporary naming practices, though it remains less common than Christina or Christine.
