Chrissie

Chrissie is an English diminutive form of Christine or Christina, names ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus and Greek Christianos, meaning follower of Christ, which in turn draws from the Greek Christos, meaning anointed. The name carries the same religious roots shared by the broader family of Christ-derived names that became widespread across Europe following the spread of Christianity. Chrissie has been used as both an informal pet form and an independent given name, particularly in British and Australian English-speaking communities. Related forms include Chris, Chrissy, Christie, and Christina.
