A female name common in Europe, especially Germany.
It is a variant of "Christian" and means "follower of Christ."
The correct pronunciation of name is "Christy-AH-neh." When a German word ends in the letter "e", it makes a "eh" or "ah" sound. Yes, I agree, it is very frustrating having this name in the US because it is always mispronounced.
Christiane Amanpour is a famous news correspondent for CNN. She, however, pronounces her first name "Christy-ahn."
