Question: The meaning of christie in. Cherokee.
Christie is a Scottish clan name, originating on Scotland's east coast. The name Christie is thought to be the Scottish version of Christian (meaning Christ-bearing).
Christie could also be Cherokee Indian. The starting point was John Christie, an Indian trader in North Carolina in the late 18th century and his daughter Betsy who married into the Cherokee tribe. She died in 1838 following the Cherokee "Trail of Tears" removal from their homeland. Her Cherokee family adopted the Christie name. Grandson Ned Christie was a Cherokee Nation leader falsely accused of murdering a US marshal who was gunned down by a posse at his home in 1892.
As such the word christie could be a family name within the Cherokee indian nation, adopted by Betsy Christie's Cherokee family members
