Christian: Boys Baby Name Meaning

Christian Baby Name

The meaning of the name Christian is ‘follower of Christ’.

The English borrowed the name from the Latin ‘Christianus’ meaning ‘follower of Christ’.

The Latin language derived the word from the Greek ‘Khristos’ (meaning ‘anointed’).

When the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) was translated into a common form of the ancient Greek language a couple of centuries before Christ, the word ‘Khristos’ was used in place of the Hebrew ‘Mashiah’ (‘the anointed’) in reference to the coming of a deliverer of the Jewish nation; the Messiah.

According to Acts 11:26, the term ‘Christian’ was first coined by the people of Antioch (present day Turkey) and in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.

As a given name, Christian dates back to the Middle Ages and, while it has always been considered gender-neutral, it was originally more common for girls.

Famous people who share the name Christian:

Christian Slater (actor); Christian Bale (actor); Christian Dior (designer); Christian Louboutin (shoe designer).
