Christian Name Meaning, Origin and Popularity

2 Min Read

Christian is a traditional gender-neutral name with origins in Latin, Greek, and English, and its meaning is “follower of Christ.” While this name was originally given to girls throughout the Middle Ages, it was adopted by boys in the 18th century as a result of John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress. This sweet-sounding name has secular appeal as well, even though the name Christian may appear to be an evident tribute to the parents’ religious faith. A-list celebrities such as C Bale and C Slater, as well as fashion moguls Dior and Louboutin, are among those who associate the name Heavenly Christian.
