Chryssie is Greek in Origin.

Chryssie is a rare modern diminutive used in English for a range of Chris/Chrys- names. As a short form of Christine or Christina, it ultimately derives from Greek Christos “anointed,” via Latin Christianus, giving the sense of “follower of Christ.” Its distinctive y and double-s also echo Greek chrysos “gold,” so in Greek circles Chryssie may shorten Chrysanthe (“golden flower”), Chryssa, or Chrysoula, yielding the meaning “golden.”

Records show Chryssie and close spellings appearing from the late 19th century, with greater visibility in the mid-to-late 20th century alongside peaks for Christine/Christina; this particular spelling remains uncommon and gives a contemporary, gemlike flair. Variants include Chrissie, Chrissy, Chrissi, Crissie, Chryssi, Chryssy, and related forms Chris, Kris, Krissy, Christy/Christie, and Christi. As a nickname-style given name, Chryssie feels friendly and bright while keeping ties to both Christian and Hellenic naming traditions.
