Khrys is in Origin.

Khrys is a modern, gender‑neutral given name, a stylistic twist on Chris/Kris and the Greek chrys‑ element. The spelling reflects a scholarly transliteration of Greek chi (χ) as kh, allowing two plausible meanings: from Christos (“anointed”), source of Christopher, Christina, and related forms; or from khrusos (“gold”), seen in names like Chrysanthe and Chrysostom. As such, Khrys can be interpreted as “anointed” or “golden,” appealing to parents seeking a compact name with layered classical roots.

Usage appears chiefly in late‑20th and early‑21st‑century English‑speaking contexts, including online and creative communities, and occasionally as a short form of Eastern European Khrystyna (Ukrainian for Christina). Variants and cognates include Chris, Kris, Khris, Chrys, Khryss, and Khryst. Longer related names are Christopher, Christian, Christina/Christine, Chrysanthe, Chrysander, and Chrysostom. Khrys remains uncommon, lending a distinctive, contemporary sheen to a venerable name family.
