As the website below shows, the name Karsten is also in use in Finland and Sweden. It is rare there, however - especially when compared to the prevalence of the name in Denmark and Norway.

With that said, Karsten (also spelled as Carsten) is also a Frisian masculine name. The etymology is the same in Frisian, i.e. it is ultimately derived from Christian. Karsten tends to be the more common spelling in West Frisian, though Carsten is certainly also seen. In North Frisian, Carsten appears to be the more common spelling instead.

I think Karsten is a Greek name and I took it. Can you add here all names in all languages that mean Christian or Karsten, including Europe and all countries?
