Historical Context
Cristhian ultimately comes from the Late Latin name Christianus, meaning a Christian or follower of Christ.

Christian became widely used as a personal name across Europe, and Cristhian is a later Spanish-language spelling found especially in Latin America. The h does not change the name's underlying origin or meaning.
