History & Origin

Chrisie is a trimmed spelling of Chrissie, the diminutive of Christine and Christina (Greek, 'follower of Christ'). Used as a stand-alone birth name in the informal mid-century mood, it keeps the warm nickname sound with a leaner spelling.

It was always the rare spelling, a couple dozen girls a year around the later nineteen-seventies. It reads as a soft, dated nickname-name of that period.

Did you know? Chrisie rode the strong mid-century use of Christine and Christina, when their nickname was often given as a name in its own right.
