Шаблон:Refimprove Шаблон:Infobox given name Christian is a unisex given name, which originated as a baptismal name used by persons of the Christian religion. It has been used as a given name since the Middle Ages, originally for males. It was later used for females,[1] without any feminising word endings.

A historically commonly used abbreviation (used for example on English 17th-century church monuments and pedigrees)[2] is Xpian, using the Greek Chi Rho Christogram Шаблон:Lang, short for Шаблон:Lang, Christ. The Greek form of the baptismal name is Шаблон:Lang, a Christian. The name denotes a follower of Jesus Christ, thus a Christian.

In Europe, it is almost exclusively used as a male name, but in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was a popular female first name in Scotland.Шаблон:Citation needed Female variants of the name include Christine, Christina, Christiane, Cristiane, Kristen, Cristina, Kristin, and Kirsten.
