01 / Meaning & origin
Krille is a masculine given name documented in Swedish. English Wiktionary records an etymology for it.
Affix of Kris(toffer) + ll (gemination) + -e (hypocoristic suffix). For some reason the gemination of s has been replaced with l, mimicking the form of diminutives such as Kalle, Lelle, Pelle and Ville. The expected form, Krisse, can be used but is less common. Compare with Swedish male given name hypocoristic forming.
