While indeed there's no K or Y in the Italian alphabet that doesn't stop some people from using sometimes names, probably of foreign derivation, that might contain these letters (I've come across a couple of Ylenia), just as there are some words borrowed from other languages but that are now in Italian dictionaries, that contain k's or y's (such as knock-out or yacht).This said, you're right that Kryzia isn't an Italian name but she could still be Italian. Krizia (in this spelling) is an Italian fashion brand.Formerly Known as Murasakihttp://italiangirlatlarge.blogspot.com/"A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world."

Thanks, so pretty much like the name. I'll ask next time I see her.
