It does in fact come from "Cristina", as in "came from Christ":

"Kirstine is a girl's name that originally comes from the saint's name Saint Christina , which is derived from Christ . Variants of the name include Kirsti , Kirstin , Kirstina . Around 4,500 people bear one of these names according to Statistics Denmark ."
