Kresten

Kresten is a Danish form of Christian, which has Greek roots and, unsurprisingly, means “follower of Christ” or “anointed.” It may also come from the Latin Christianus, which means “a Christian,” making this a fitting name for those looking to raise baby according to this faith. Of course, Kresten is well-suited to others in a non-religious context, as its widespread use has made it one of the most popular names in countries around the world over the last few decades, from France to Germany and the United States. Famous namesakes include Hans Christian Anderson, the Danish author who wrote The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, and The Emperor’s New Clothes, as well as iconic French fashion designer Christian Dior, both helping to infuse Kresten with an element of creativity and artistic flair.
