History & Origin

Chrystle appears in United States records from the early 1950s, a decorative spelling of Crystal that borrows the Chr- of Christine. As a form of Crystal, it stayed long-tail, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1986 before fading in the 1990s.

A girl named Chrystle at that peak would be in her late thirties now. The plain Crystal carries the name today, and this ornate spelling has not revived, though it still offers a sparkling twist for a parent drawn to the sound.

Did you know? Chrystle glitters by way of Greek: through Crystal it comes from krystallos, the word for clear ice or rock crystal.
