History & Origin
Chrissi is a spelling of Chrissy, the everyday short form of Christine and Christina. Those names descend from the Greek word for a Christian, a follower of Christ, and were hugely popular in the mid twentieth century. Given as a stand-alone name, Chrissi with its -i ending caught a little of the informal, first-name-nickname trend of the nineteen-seventies but stayed uncommon.
Chrissi was rare on its own, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak in the late nineteen-seventies, with a long thin tail afterward. A girl named Chrissi then would be in her late forties today.
