Christian in Cursive

Christian in cursive is 𝒞𝒽𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒶𝓃. All nine letters are proper script characters with no borrowed ones mixed in, so it renders evenly. In bold script it is 𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓪𝓷, and the short form Chris is 𝒞𝒽𝓇𝒾𝓈.

The feminine forms work the same way. Christine is 𝒞𝒽𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓃ℯ.

A cursive capital C usually starts with a small loop or hook at the top, then curves round in one open sweep. It stays open on the right; closing it turns it into an O. From the bottom of the C, the line runs on into the h.

Christian has a long middle: h, r, i, s, t, i. The r and s both rise to small points, so keep those points the same height. Leave both i dots and the t cross until the final n is written.

Christian comes from the Latin Christianus, "follower of Christ", and has been used as a first name since the Middle Ages. It is used for both men and women, though it is mostly male today.

English church monuments of the 1600s sometimes wrote the name as Xpian, using the Greek letters chi and rho from "Christ". Unicode includes that Chi Rho symbol, ☧ (U+2627), and the Latin cross, ✝ (U+271D). Both can sit next to the name: ✝ 𝒞𝒽𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒶𝓃.
