What is the meaning of the name Kryshna ?

The baby name Kryshna is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KRISH-nah (IPA: /ˈkrɪʃnə/).

Kryshna is Sanskrit in Origin.

Kryshna is a modern respelling and less common transliteration of Krishna (Sanskrit: कृष्ण, Kṛṣṇa), the name of a major Hindu deity, an avatar of Vishnu. In Sanskrit kṛṣṇa means “dark, black; dark-blue,” referring to the god’s complexion; in devotion it’s also read as “all-attractive.” The Kryshna form appears in some Slavic/Cyrillic-to-Latin renderings and creative English use; the standard spelling is Krishna.

As a given name it has long use across South Asia and, via bhakti traditions and ISKCON, gained global currency. Predominantly masculine but sometimes unisex today. Related variants include Krishna, Kṛṣṇa, Krisna (Indonesian), Krushna (Odia/Marathi), Krishan/Krishen (Punjabi), Kishan/Kishen (North Indian), and the feminine Krishnaa/Krishnaa; common short form: Krish.
