Chrisyius Origin and Meaning

The name Chrisyius is a boy's name of American origin meaning "bearing Christ; gold".

Notably borne by young drummer Chrisyius Whitehead who wowed America's Got Talent judges back in 2024, Chrisyius entered the US stats for the first time in the same year when it was given to five boys. It may be considered a variation of the golden Greek names, Chrysus and Chryses, however, it's just as, if not more likely, that it comes from classic Christian or Christopher, blended with the -ius suffix.

In the case of Chrisyius Whitehead, his father is Christopher, suggesting his name is a fresh way of honoring a family member. It is pronounced kri-SYE-uhs, sye rhyming with eye.
