Chrissey is in Origin.

Chrissey is an English pet form derived from the Chris- family of names - chiefly Christina/Christine and sometimes Christopher - ultimately from Greek roots tied to Christos (“anointed”) and Christianos (“a Christian”). As a diminutive, it carries the meanings associated with its bases: “follower of Christ” (from Christina/Christine) or, by extension, “Christ-bearer” (from Christopher). The double-s spelling gives it a soft, playful cadence while preserving the familiar Chris- core.

Use as an independent given name surfaced in the mid-20th century, paralleling the wider vogue for nickname-style first names in the UK and United States. The spelling Chrissey remains uncommon; parents have more often chosen Chrissy or Chrissie, with related variants including Crissy, Crissie, Chrissey, Krissy, and Krissie. Formal counterparts include Christina, Christine, Christa, Kristen/Kristin, and Christopher. Today Chrissey feels friendly and informal, suited to families who like a bright, approachable take on a classic root.
