Kristen is another female name that is common to my ears. A lot of my friends bear that name, usually with different variations like Kris, Kristina, or Kristi. Heck, even one of the
most responsible nannies we had was named Kristi.
The name Kristen is originally a Danish girl's name that has a biblical connotation to it. Kristen refers to the "Anointed" one or simply put, the follower of the
Lord Christ. Although Kristen has its
Danish roots, the German meaning of Kristen is similar to that previously mentioned. Kristen also takes the form of Christine, which is the Scandinavian version of the biblical name.
