Christie

Christie is a gender-neutral name of Latin origin. It may be a shortened form of Christopher, which derives from the Greek name Christóforos, meaning “Christ-bearer.” Alternatively, it could be a diminutive of Christian, which has its roots in the Latin name Christianus, meaning “follower of Christ.” The feminine form of Christian is Christine, which can also be shortened to Christie. You may opt to use Christie as an affectionate nickname for one of its longer forms, or as a name on its own. Either way, it’s a lovely choice if you’re hoping to pass your faith on to baby.
