Christy (given name)

Christie or Christy (with various alternative spellings) is a given name, used in English both for females and males. The name Christie originated from Italy in 1222,^{[citation needed]} and derives from the Greek names Christos (a reference to Christ, literally 'anointed one') and Christiana (meaning 'follower of Christ').^{[citation needed]} The name Christy appears in Ireland in 1345,^{[citation needed]} and is a common masculine name there. When used as a personal name in English, it is usually a diminutive form of the personal names Christian, Christopher, etc. (masculine), or Christine, Christina, etc. (feminine). In modern name-your-baby books and websites, the name has been assigned other connotations, such as 'angel', 'elegant', 'graceful', 'beautiful', 'lovely', even 'princess', but these are fanciful notions without etymological support.
