Question regarding name 'Karistu' - joshthom - 23-03-2021

Hello everyone, 

In Malta there is a first name 'Karistu', which I've been told is short for Eucharistio or something along those lines. However, in baptismal and marriage records no such name exists....

I wondering what the proper form of 'Karistu' is.

Thankyou.

Regards,

Joshua Sultana.

Hello,

Yes, Eucharistio is correct. Or Eucaristico. No idea why it doesn’t appear much in the records but it’s probably a name used mainly in a town in Gozo? Could it be like Coronato in Nadur? Very rare in any case.
