History & Origin
Chrisette is a diminutive of Christine or Christina, from the Greek for 'follower of Christ,' with the French -ette, 'little.' Uncommon overall, it gained visibility through the neo-soul singer Chrisette Michele, and its US usage rose around 2011.
Chrisette crested around 2011 at roughly seventy girls a year, a later peak than most names in its cohort, and remained a niche choice. A Chrisette from the peak is still a young child today. It reads as a fresh, singer-linked diminutive rather than a vintage revival.
