Crisanto is a Spanish given name, derived from the Latin 'Chrysanthus', which means 'golden flower'. It has been traditionally used in Spain and Latin America as both a boy's and girl's name, though it is more commonly associated with males. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages due to Saint Chrysanthus, an early Christian martyr whose legend spread throughout Europe. Crisanto has not typically ranked among the most popular names in recent years, but its unique and somewhat vintage sound may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name for their child.
Crisanto has seen peaks in popularity during the late 80s to mid-90s and again in the early 2000s with a total of 226 births recorded from 1922 to 2023, showing intermittent trends over time.
