Where does the name Christine come from?
Christine is the French form of Christina, which comes from Christiana, the Latin feminine form of Christian. Behind the Name says it was a popular name in the 20th century, especially the middle decades, in France, Germany and the English-speaking world, though in the US the Christina spelling has been more common since 1973. Its best-known fictional bearer is Christine Daaé, the heroine of Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera (1910).
Other forms of Christine
Chris is the everyday short form, and Chrissy, Chrissie, Christie and Christy are the cuter versions. Tina, taken from the end of the name, is a favorite too. Christine also has a big family of cousins that grew out of the same root, including Kirsten, Kristen, Krista and Kristy.
Well-known Christines
Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac wrote hits including “Don’t Stop”, “Everywhere” and “Little Lies”. Christine Lagarde was the first woman to lead the International Monetary Fund and then the European Central Bank. And Christine Baranski won an Emmy for Cybill and played Diane Lockhart in The Good Wife.
Christine’s popularity
Christine was a slow burner. It was in the US top 200 from the 1880s onward, climbed to 27th in the 1960s and peaked at 22nd in the 1970s, when more than 103,000 American girls were named Christine. It was still 45th in the 1980s and in the top 200 into the 1990s, so Christines today can be anything from their 30s to their 80s.
A few more things about Christine
In The Phantom of the Opera, Christine is the young soprano that both the Phantom and Raoul fall in love with. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical version became the longest-running show in Broadway history, and the first to pass 10,000 performances. Christine McVie, meanwhile, wrote “Songbird”, the gentle piano ballad on Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours (1977).

A notebook for every Christine

Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
