Kreszencja is Polish in Origin.

Kreszencja is a rare Polish feminine name ultimately from the Latin Crescentia, derived from crescere “to grow, increase,” evoking ideas of growth, flourishing, and a waxing moon. The spelling with sz reflects Polish phonology and shows contact with German forms; it appears in 18th–19th‑century parish registers, especially in Silesia and other borderlands influenced by German Catholic naming. Its use was sustained by veneration of early Christian martyrs named Crescentia and by the Bavarian saint Maria Crescentia Höss (1682–1744). Today it is largely archaic in Poland.

Variants and related forms include Polish Krescencja (more common) and Kresencja; Latin/English Crescentia; German Kreszentia and Kreszenz (with the nickname Zenzi); and Spanish/Filipino Crescencia. The name shares roots with words like crescent and crescendo, reinforcing its upward‑growing sense. Name days are sometimes observed on 16 April, the feast of St. Crescentia.
