Origine et histoire
Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Christian', from the Latin Christianus, meaning 'follower of Christ'. Christian was one of the most dynastic names in Danish history, borne by ten Danish kings from Christian I (reigned 1448-1481) to Christian X (reigned 1912-1947). Christiansen uses the Latinate C-spelling as opposed to the Norse K-spelling of Kristiansen, reflecting the formal written culture of the educated classes. Approximately 74,000 Danes carry this surname.
