Where this word comes from

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.
