Follower of Christ
Krysti is a modern phonetic variant of Kristi or Christy, which are diminutive forms of Christina or Christine. It ultimately derives from the Latin name Christianus, meaning 'a Christian' or 'follower of Christ'. This specific spelling gained some popularity in the United States during the late 20th century as part of a trend for replacing 'i' or 'y' with 'yi'.
