Crispian (M)>

Crispian (male)

Variants:Crispianus (M) Crispin (M) Xpianus (M)
   
Source(s): The Oxford Names Companion, OUP
Notes:

English, from Latin "curled (hair)"; an early spelling variant of Crispin.

Note that many old documents and some later ones replaced the first few letters with an "X": e.g. "Xpian". In the older documents in Latin an ending -us was normally added, and modified as a Latin case ending. At that time, Crispin & Crispian were generally written as Crispianus or Xpianus.
