Chrysanthe is Greek in Origin.

Chrysanthe is a feminine given name of Greek origin, from Ancient Greek chrysos “gold” + anthos “flower,” literally “golden flower.” It is the feminine counterpart of Chrysanthos and is etymologically related to the chrysanthemum. The name appears in Late Antique and Byzantine records and survives in modern Greek, though it remains uncommon; its enduring appeal reflects both the Orthodox taste for virtue‑ and nature‑based names and the prestige of the chryso‑ element in Greek onomastics.

Forms and spellings vary with transliteration: Chrysanthi and Chrisanthi (Χρυσάνθη), Chrysanthē, and the English‑leaning Chrysantha. Short forms include Chrysa and Santhi. Cross‑linguistic cousins include Spanish/Filipino Crisanta and Italian/Spanish Crisantina. The masculine is Chrysanthos (Chrysanthus in Latin), known from early Christian hagiography; the feminine sometimes appears in ecclesiastical and literary contexts and saw minor revival in 19th‑century English as a botanical name. Overall meaning and symbolism center on radiant beauty, prosperity, and autumnal blooms.
