Crissa Origin and Meaning

The name Crissa is a girl's name.

Crissa is a feminine name with Greek origins, possibly a diminutive form of names containing the element 'kris' such as Christine or Crystal, meaning 'anointed' or 'follower of Christ.' It may also be related to the Greek word 'chrysos' meaning 'gold.' Crissa remains quite uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive quality for those who bear it. The name has a bright, crisp sound with its opening consonant blend and double 's,' creating a name that feels both modern and melodic. While never reaching mainstream popularity, Crissa occasionally appears in birth records from the late 20th century onward. Its rarity makes it appealing to parents seeking a unique name with classical roots and a contemporary feel.
