Kristianna
Meaning of Kristianna
Kristianna, a feminine given name of Latin and Greek derivation, emerges as an elaboration of Christianus through the confluence of Christiana and Anna. Etymologically, it unites the Greek term christós, denoting “anointed,” with the Hebrew name Ḥannāh, signifying “grace” or “favor,” thereby articulating a composite meaning of “graceful adherent to the Christian faith.” Introduced into Anglo-American usage in the latter half of the twentieth century, it has maintained a consistent, albeit modest, presence in the United States Social Security naming charts—frequently appearing within the 800–1000 rank range—reflecting its enduring appeal among parents seeking a name that conveys both spiritual heritage and classical resonance. In contemporary practice, Kristianna is pronounced uniformly in English as /krɪˈstiːænə/, its harmonious phonetic structure reinforcing a sense of traditional dignity subtly tempered by modern sensibilities.
