About Cressie
Derived from the Shakespearean Cressida, or perhaps from Crescentia or Lucrezia, Cressie is a sweet but unexpected nickname-name, reminiscent of Essie, Josie, Jessie, Cassie, and Lettie. For some, however, it might be too close to the salad garnish.
Pronounced CRES-ee.
As of October 2026, Cressie ranked #11676 in US births in 1987 SSA, peaked at #851 in 1889.
