Keresztülinek

Keresztülinek is a Hungarian given name, typically used for females. It is a diminutive or affectionate form derived from the name Keresztély, which itself is the Hungarian version of Christian. The name Christian originates from the Greek word "Christos," meaning "anointed one." Therefore, Keresztülinek essentially carries the meaning of "little Christian" or an endearing reference to someone named Christian.

The usage of Keresztülinek is primarily found within Hungarian culture and families. While Keresztély is more commonly used as a standalone name, Keresztülinek serves as a term of endearment, similar to how many names have shortened or affectionate variations in different languages. It's less likely to be encountered as a formal, registered given name and more often used within a family or close social circle. Its presence is a reflection of the linguistic traditions and naming conventions prevalent in Hungary. The name’s popularity, like many diminutives, can fluctuate over time and is closely tied to familial and cultural preferences.
