[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a college prof and have a decent amount of Christians and Christianas and Kriste(i)ns. It never really left. [/quote] I think it's long been a very popular name among Catholics. Extremely common in central and South America, as well Spain and Italy (Cristina). Also pretty similar in sound to many other Latin names like Valentina and Catalina, both of which are skyrocketing in popularity. Americans may have stayed away from it simply because it became fairly ubiquitous in the 70s and 80s, which means that parents naming babies over the last 20 years or so like know a few Christinas who are their contemporaries, and people have drifted from using names from their own generation as of late. But in other cultures, naming after family members, including living family, is more common, and a name like Christina is likely to be a perennial favorite, like Elizabeth or Caroline is in the US or UK.[/quote]
