Krisi

Meaning of Krisi

Krisi (pronounced KRIS-ee, /ˈkrɪsi/) is a feminine given name that evolved as a diminutive variant of Christine, itself originating from the Greek christos, meaning “anointed” or “follower of Christ.” In the United States, Krisi registered modest but steady usage between 1967 and 1986—reaching its apex in 1983 with ten recorded births and a popularity rank of 766—thereby illustrating its niche appeal during that era. The truncated form exemplifies an Anglo-American tendency toward concise, affectionate monikers, imbuing the name with both traditional religious resonance and a streamlined modernity. Although its prevalence has declined since the mid-1980s, Krisi’s etymological roots and morphological economy continue to reflect broader trends in contemporary naming practice.
