Kristina
Kristina f
Swedish and Czech form of CHRISTINA (SEE Christina). The name is very popular in Sweden. Queen Kristina of Sweden (1626–89) succeeded her father Gustavus Adolphus in 1632. Growing to adulthood, she presided over a glittering court, but in 1654 she abdicated, left Sweden dressed as a man, converted to Roman Catholicism, and lived for most of the rest of her life in Rome. Her character was the subject of a famous but largely fictitious film (1933), in which the part of the queen was played by Greta Garbo.
Variant: Swedish: Kerstin.
Pet form: Swedish: Kicki.
