Getting Started with a One Name Study
New Guidelines for Name Studies has been outlined on Space:Getting Started with a One Name Study which includes the following standard sections:
About the Project
The CHRIST Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the CHRIST name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the CHRIST name.
As a One Name Study, this project does not limit its scope to persons who are related biologically. Individual team studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England SURNAME's), by time period (18th Century SURNAME's), or by topic (SURNAME DNA, SURNAME Occupations, SURNAME Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

TOPIC: Origin/History:
Answer to The Christ Name Study project has a free space page! Posted by Andreas West.
- The name is German and also amongst my direct ancestors. It is derived from the short form of the male first name Christian.
- The origin is Greek Christós and the latin version Christianus was used in older documents.
- Here you find a list of many famous Christ that people have put up in the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_(Familienname).
- Christ is a very common name in Germany, actually on rank 371 with 6563 entries in the telephone book. As it's derived from a first name it's found all over Germany, even though there are two counties (Ansbach in Bavaria and Rhein-Hunsrueck-Kreis where my Christ are also coming from) that have a much higher concentration per inhabitants.
- If you're interested in the distribution of family names in Germany Sharon, you should check out the Geogen website: http://legacy.stoepel.net/en/Default.aspx and especially the relative distribution on the map.
