기원 및 역사

Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Kristen', a variant spelling of Christen, the Danish vernacular form of Christian, from the Latin Christianus. The spelling with K reflects the unlatinised Nordic orthography that developed after the Reformation, when Danish printers began to favour native letter forms. Kristensen is particularly common in Jutland, where the K-spelling was preferred over the C-spelling. Approximately 85,000 Danes bear this surname.
