Khryssia is Greek in Origin.

Khryssia is a modern, ornamental feminine name shaped from Greek elements. Its core points to chrysos, “gold,” the root behind Chryssa and Chrysanthe (“golden flower”). The initial Kh- mirrors scholarly transliterations of the Greek letter chi (Χ) as kh, lending a distinctive Hellenic look; the -ia ending and doubled s create a lyrical, diminutive feel. Some also hear it as a stylized offshoot of Chrissa/Chrissy, short forms of Christina from Christos (“anointed”).

Documented usage is sporadic from the late twentieth century onward, particularly in creative naming circles, and it remains rare in official statistics. Variants include Khryssa, Khrysia, Chryssia, Chrissia, Krissia, Chryssa, and Cryssia; related forms are Chrysanthe/Chrysanthi, Chryssa, Christina, and the Slavic-transliterated Khrystyna. Depending on the chosen derivation, meanings cluster around “golden,” “golden flower,” or, via the Christina pathway, “anointed”/“follower of Christ.”
