Meaning & Origins
(French) form of Christina. It was popular in the medieval period, when it appears to have been used interchangeably with Christian, and again in Britain at the end of the 19th century. In the United States it was particularly popular from the 1950s to the 1970s.

English: one of the most common and widespread of English surnames, either a nickname for someone who was fond of dressing in this color (Old English grēne) or who had played the part of the ‘Green Man’ in the May Day celebrations, or a topographic name for someone who lived near a village green, Middle English grene (a transferred use of the color term). In North America this name has no doubt assimilated cognates from other European languages, notably German Grün (see Gruen).
