Chryssoula is Greek in Origin.

Chryssoula (Greek: Χρυσούλα) is a modern Greek feminine name derived from ancient Greek chrysos, “gold.” It is a diminutive of Chrysó/Chryssí formed with the affectionate suffix -oula, conveying the sense “little golden one” or “dear golden girl.” The root chrys- appears widely in Greek vocabulary to denote brightness, value, and prosperity, giving the name warm, auspicious overtones.

In Greece across the 20th century, affectionate -oula forms were often registered as full given names, and Chryssoula became well established; it remains familiar in Greek-speaking communities and the diaspora. Common short forms include Soula, Chrysa, and Chryssi/Chrysi. Spelling variants arise from transliteration: Chrysoula, Chryssoula, Hrissoula/Hrisoula, and Hrysoula. Related but etymologically distinct cognates include Chrysanthi/Chrysanthe (“golden flower”). While sometimes chosen in connection with Orthodox name-day traditions honoring saints named Chryse/Chrysi, the name’s primary appeal lies in its luminous “golden” meaning.
