In 30 seconds: Kross is a creative K-spelling of Cross, meaning the crossroads or the cross. As a name it evokes both the Christian cross and the idea of a crossroads — a place of meeting, decision, and destiny.
Kross is a creative variant of Cross, from the Old Norse kross meaning cross, from Latin crux. As a given name Cross/Kross has grown in the United States, particularly after Kourtney Kardashian named her son Mason Dash Disick, with Kross associated with Tyga and Blac Chyna's son.
Kross is associated with rapper Tyga and Blac Chyna's son King Cairo's nickname, bringing it pop culture visibility. Its one-syllable punch gives it maximum impact.
Did you know? The crossroads has mythological power across cultures — in African American folklore Robert Johnson allegedly sold his soul at a crossroads; in Greek mythology Oedipus met his fate at a crossroads. Kross carries this sense of a decisive, fateful meeting point.
