''Christian'' was a Baptismal name. It is now a given name born by males and females. The name is derived from the Egyptian word ''kheru'', "word" or "voice",〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=John )〕 through the Koine Greek word ''Christós'' and the Latin ''Çhristus'', used to replace the Biblical Hebrew term ''mashiach'', "anointed".〔()〕 It was commonly used as a Baptismal name and interchangeably as a given name. It has been used as a given name since the Middle Ages - especially amongst females.〔.〕 Today the name is popular in Europe, United States and other English-speaking countries. Today in Europe — though not the United States — 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. Female variants of the name include ''Christine'', ''Christina'', ''Christiane'', ''Cristiane'', ''Kristen'', ''Kristin'', and ''Kirsten''. Holders of the name ''Christian'' may go by the nicknames or shortened forms ''Chris'', ''Chrissy'', "Crix", or ''Xian''. ==In other languages== * Christianus (Latin) * Chrétien (French) * Christian (Danish, German, French, Swedish) * Christiaan (Afrikaans, Dutch) * Karsten (Low German, Dutch) * קריסטלעך (Qrystlʻk) (Yiddish) * Críosdaidh (Gaelic) * Creestee (Manx) * Cristiano (Italian and Portuguese) * Cristian (Galician) * Cristian or Cristián (Italian, Spanish, Romanian;Romance languages) * Kristián (Czech, Slovak) * Kristian (Estonian, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, Croatian or Swedish) * Kristjan (Estonian, Faroese, Slovenian) * Kristian, Kristi, Kristo (Albanian) * Kristján (Icelandic) * Kristijan Croatian * Kristiāns (Latvian) * Kristijonas (Lithuanian) * Krystian (Polish) * Krisztián, Keresztény, for the Danish kings ''Keresztély'' (Hungarian) * Χριστιανός, Christianós (Greek) * Кристиан (Russian) * Християн, Крістіан (Ukrainian) * Христиан (Serbian) * Кристијан, Kristijan or Христијан, Hristijan (Macedonian) * Христо, Християн, Кристиян or Кристиан (Bulgarian) * քրիստոնյա (Armenian) * كريستيان (Arabic) * مسیحی (Persian) * عیسائی (Urdu) * ईसाई (Īsā'ī) (Hindi) * ख्रीष्टियन (Khrīṣṭiyana) (Nepali) * ਮਸੀਹੀ (Masīhī) (Punjabi) * ಕ್ರಿಶ್ಚಿಯನ್ (Kriściyan) (Kannada) * క్రిస్టియన్(Krisṭiyan) (Telugu) * கிரிஸ்துவர் (Kiristuvar) (Tamil) * คริสเตียน (Khris̄teīyn) (Thai) * 克里斯蒂安 (Kèlǐsīdìān) (Chinese Simplified) * 克里斯蒂安 (Kèlǐsīdìān) (Chinese Traditional) * クリスチャン (Kurisuchan) (Japanese) * 크리스티안 (Keuliseutian) (Korean) * Karaitiana (Maori) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christian (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
