Christy is an American period drama series which aired on CBS from April 1994 to August 1995, for twenty episodes.
Christy was based on the novel Christy by Catherine Marshall, the widow of Senate chaplain Peter Marshall. The novel had been a bestseller in 1968, and the week following the debut of the TV-movie and program saw the novel jump from #120 up to #15 on the USA Today bestseller list. Series regular Tyne Daly won an Emmy Award for her work on the series.

Due to emigration to the United States, Christy has also been used as an Americanization of Scandinavian last names such as the Danish Christiansen). As a result, a small number of Danes with the last name Christy are descendants of a family which emigrated to the US in the early 20th century. However, most of the children returned to Denmark in the 1920s. For this reason, a large majority of Danish citizens with the last name Christy are related by blood.
Christy (released in 1967) is a historical fiction novel by Christian author Catherine Marshall set in the fictional Appalachian village of Cutter Gap, Tennessee, in 1912. The novel was inspired by the story of the journey made by her own mother, Leonora Whitaker, to teach the impoverished children in the Appalachian region as a young, single adult. The novel explores faith and mountain traditions such as moonshining, folk beliefs and folk medicine. Marshall also made notes for a sequel, never published, which were found by her family some 34 years later. Christianity Today ranked Christy as 27th on a list of the 50 books (post- World War II) that had most shaped evangelicals' minds after surveying "dozens of evangelical leaders" for their nominations.
Christy or Christie (with various alternative spellings) is a given name, used in English both for females and males. The name Christie originated from Italy in 1222, and derives from the Greek names Christos (a reference to Christ, literally 'anointed one') and Christiana (meaning 'follower of Christ'). The name Christy appears in Ireland in 1345, and is a common masculine name there. When used as a personal name in English, it is usually a diminutive form of the personal names Christian, Christopher, etc. (masculine), or Christine, Christina, etc. (feminine). In modern name-your-baby books and websites, the name has been assigned other connotations, such as 'angel', 'elegant', 'graceful', 'beautiful', 'lovely', even 'princess', but these are fanciful notions without etymological support.
