Origin
Meaning and history of Christionna
The name Christionna is a relatively modern feminine given name that does not have a clear origin or etymology. It appears to be a constructed name, potentially derived from a combination of the Greek name Christina and the Latin suffix "-onna," which is sometimes used to create feminine versions of names.
While the name Christionna does not have a long historical lineage, it may be inspired by the name Christina, which has its roots in ancient Greek and Christian traditions. Christina is derived from the Greek word "Christos," meaning "anointed one" or "Christ," and is associated with Christianity.
There are no known ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records that specifically mention the name Christionna. However, the name Christina has been documented throughout history, with several notable figures bearing this name.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Christina can be found in the 4th century AD, with Saint Christina the Astonishing, a Belgian saint known for her mystical experiences and miraculous feats. Another notable Christina was Christina of Markyate, an English nun and anchoress who lived in the 12th century and is celebrated for her piety and spiritual writings.
In the realm of royalty, Christina of Sweden (1626-1689) was a prominent figure. She was the Queen of Sweden from 1632 until her abdication in 1654, known for her patronage of the arts and her unconventional lifestyle.
In more modern times, Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) was an influential English poet and writer who contributed significantly to the Victorian literary movement. Additionally, Christina Aguilera (born 1980) is a renowned American singer, songwriter, and actress who has achieved international success and recognition in the music industry.

FAQ
Christionna: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Christionna?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 111 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Christionna going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,087,877 US residents.
Is Christionna a common name?
We classify Christionna as "Very Rare". It ranks above 66.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 112 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Christionna most popular?
The single biggest year for Christionna was 2009, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Christionna is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Christionna in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Christionna a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Christionna in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Christionna still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Christionna in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Christionna can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
