A History of Christie Ancient Tartan

The surname Christie is a diminutive of Christian, and perhaps of Christopher, and is very common in Fife which appears to have been the early home of the family. Chrystie, a variant spelling, was adopted by a well-known family in Old Stirling. A John Chrystie was admitted Burgess of Aberdeen in 1530 and Cristina Cristie was a tenant under the Bishop of Moray in 1547. The name is now widespread throughout Scotland.
