What does the name Krista mean?
Krista is a short form of Kristina, says Behind the Name, and Kristina is a form of Christina used in many languages. Christina comes from Christiana, the Latin feminine form of Christian. Wikipedia describes Krista as a mostly northern European form, used in Finland, Estonia and Sweden.

Behind the Name lists a long family of relatives in English, including Kris, Kristi, Kristie, Kristy, Christa, Chrissy and Tina. In Finland the same name turns up as Kirsi, Kirsti or Tiina, and in Estonia as Kristel.
Some famous Kristas
Krista Tippett grew up in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and graduated from Brown University in 1983. Wikipedia says she has been the creator and host of the Peabody Award-winning program On Being since 2003, and President Barack Obama awarded her the National Humanities Medal in 2014. Her best-selling books include Becoming Wise (2016).
Krista through the decades
Krista is a child of the 1970s and 1980s. US Social Security data has it at 146th in the 1970s, 127th in the 1980s, when more than 22,800 American girls were named Krista, and 192nd in the 1990s. That adds up to nearly 58,000 Kristas in those three decades.
Did you know?
Christina, the name behind Krista, has royal history. Behind the Name says it was borne by a 17th-century Swedish queen and patron of the arts who gave up her crown in order to become a Roman Catholic. The site adds that in the English-speaking world Christine was the more popular form for most of the 20th century, before Christina eventually overtook it.

Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Krista is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Krista on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
