Krissie is French in Origin.
Krissie is a modern English diminutive of feminine “Chris/Kris” names - especially Christina, Christine, Kristen, and Kristina. These trace to Latin Christianus/Christina, ultimately from Greek Christos, “anointed (one),” yielding the meaning “follower of Christ” or “belonging to Christ.” The K-initial spelling echoes Germanic and Scandinavian forms (Kristina, Kristin), while the -ie ending follows a long-standing British and Australian pattern for affectionate nicknames.
Appearing in records as a pet name by the late 19th century, Krissie began to surface as an independent given name in the mid–late 20th century, aligning with the vogue for casual, -ie nicknames. Longstanding associations with saints named Christina helped anchor its use across Europe. Related spellings and cognates include Krissy, Kris, Chrissie/Crissie/Crissy, Christy/Kristy, Christie/Kristie, and the formal bases Kristina/Kristine/Christina/Christine; male counterparts include Chris and Christian.
