In English, the term diminutive refers to a name that has been modified or shortened to create a smaller, cuter version. In this case, Christie is a shortened form of the name Christine, which in turn is derived from the Greek name Christina, meaning follower of Christ.

      Throughout history, the name Christie has been relatively common, especially as a nickname for girls named Christine. In religious contexts, it was often given to those who exhibited strong devotion to Christianity. However, due to its diminutive nature, the name Christie was typically used informally among friends and family.

      In modern-day usage, Christie is still widely recognized as a diminutive form of Christine. It continues to be a popular choice as a given name for girls, often used as a standalone name rather than as a nickname. Additionally, the name Christie has occasionally been used as a name.
