A little background knowledge!
The city was named after its founder King Christian IV in 1641. The last element sand refers to the sandy headland the city was built on.
The name was written "Christian(s)sand" until 1877 - then, according to an official spelling reform (that changed ch to k), the form was changed to "Kristianssand". The name was again changed to its present form Kristiansand in 1889. (Wikipedia)
