What is the meaning of the name Chrissy ?

The baby name Chrissy is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KRIS-ee (IPA: /ˈkrɪsi/).

Chrissy is Greek in Origin.

Chrissy is an English hypocoristic of Christina and Christine, ultimately from Greek Christos "anointed," via Latin Christianus "a Christian, follower of Christ." Formed with the affectionate -y ending, it can also shorten Kristina/Kristine and, less often, Christopher/Christian, making it broadly tied to the Chris- name family and the core meaning "follower of Christ; anointed."

As a pet name it appears in English-language use by the 19th century, but it became a fashionable standalone given name in the United States, Britain, and Australia during the 1970s–1980s, boosted by pop-culture figures such as Chrissy Snow of Three's Company. Usage today skews informal or nickname-only. Spelling variants include Chrissie, Crissy, Krissy, Krissi, and Chrisy; closely related diminutives are Christie and Christy. In most contexts Chrissy is feminine, though occasionally unisex. The name conveys a bright, friendly tone while retaining its venerable Christian etymology.
