Meaning & origin(measured from records)

Típusa: Apanévi vagy helynévi eredetű vagy családi állapotra utaló, szláv vagy román családnév. Eredete: Előzménye a görög ’fölkent, Messiás’ jelentésű ó [Chrisztosz] név latinosított melléknévi formája, a Christianus, amelynek a jelentése ’Krisztushoz tartozó’. Keresztnévként elterjedt az egész keresztény világban, így a szláv nyelvekben is. Ennek egy zárt szótagra rövidült Kris ~ Krizs alakja fölvette a régi szlovák nyelvben és a ruszinban is gyakori ’valakihez tartozó’ vagy ’valamivel ellátott’ jelentésű -án képzőt. Így könnyen apai családnévvé lett Krisan ~ Krizsan alakban. A románban viszont keletkezhetett a crişan ’öreg, nőtlen férfi, agglegény’ közszóból is. Az erdélyi Kőrös helynév (és víznév) román Criş alakjából és az ’onnan/oda való’ jelentésű -an képzőből is kialakulhatott. Jelentése akkor ’Körös vidékéről való’. A Crijan nevek mindenképp román eredetűek (vagy Erdélyből áttelepült magyarok románosan írt nevei). Elterjedtsége: A Dunától keletre, Csongrád és Békés megyében, Békéscsaba, Gyula környékén gyakoribb.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
