History & Origin

Crystall rides the wave that carried the gem name Crystal up the American charts in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, helped along by the glamour of the era. The root is the Greek krystallos, 'clear ice', by way of the mineral. This spelling simply doubles the final letter for a personal look.

The doubled form was always a minor byway: only a couple dozen girls a year at most carried it around 1979, and it thinned out by the two-thousands. A girl given it then is in her forties now.

Did you know? The word behind Crystal, Greek 'krystallos', first meant ice; ancient writers thought clear quartz was water frozen so hard it could never melt.
