Kross Origin and Meaning
The name Kross is a boy's name meaning "crucifix; by the crossroads; maker of mugs, jugs and pitchers".
Kross is one of the new generation of Christian word names with a twist, and joins the ranks of Chozen, Kruz, Zyon, Kannon, and Tru as options for boys. Given to around 20 babies in 2018, by 2019, it was received by more than 100. Now, it is given to nearly 200 babies each year and is more popular than the traditional Cross spelling.
The appeal of the K spelling is that it can distinguish it from the non-spiritual meanings of the word - to be annoyed, to strike through, to cut across, to mix together - and because K names are on vogue. It also associates it with the German occupational surname, denoting someone who makes mugs, jugs, and other ceramics.
