Meaning & origin
Christana is a rare variant of Christina that first appeared in U.S. records in 1900, but it has never been widely used. The Social Security Administration shows it peaked in 1900, with fewer than 5 births that year, and the name has remained consistently uncommon ever since. It is not recorded in any U.S. state's top names, and its usage has been stable but extremely low over the decades. While Christina and Kristina have seen moderate popularity, Christana remains a distinctive choice for those seeking a form of the classic name Christian.
Christana is a variant of Christina, itself a Latin feminine form of Christianus, meaning 'follower of Christ.' The name has been used in English-speaking countries since the medieval period, though Christana is a less common spelling that emerged in the 19th century.
