History & Origin
Cristalle is an ornate spelling of Crystal, from the Greek krystallos, 'ice' or 'clear rock crystal.' The -alle ending gives it a French air and a nod to Christelle. Crystal was fashionable in the later twentieth century, and Cristalle is one of its dressier forms; the meaning stays with the gem.
It was always rare, given to only about sixteen girls a year even at its peak in the nineteen-seventies. A girl named Cristalle then would be in her forties or fifties today.
