It's of Greek origin, but this is the Latin spelling which predominantes in western European languages. It means anointed at its most basic, although most would interpret it as also meaning follower of Christ (believer in Christianity).
The name "Christ" comes from Khristos, which is Greek translation of the Hebrew word for "Messiah", which also means "anointed."
In modern times this is a boy's name. But in medieval centuries it was a girl's name. It may have become masculinised by the success of the religious fiction "Pilgrim's Progress" (1684) by John Bunyan. The hero in there was a lad called Christian. Nowadays instead, girls might be given the corresponding names of Christine, Christianna and Kirsten. A closely related boy's name is Christopher, which means "Bearer of the annointed one" or Christ carrier..
Famous Christians include French fashion designer Christian Dior, actor Christian Slater and Dr. Christiaan Barnard.
