History & Origin

Crystalyn is a compound of Crystal, from the Greek 'krystallos', 'ice' or 'clear quartz', and the ending Lynn, from a Welsh word for a lake or pool. As Crystal peaked in the nineteen-eighties, elaborations like Crystalyn appeared, adding the ever-popular -lyn tail.

It was a genuine rarity, cresting faintly in the mid-nineteen-eighties before fading. It reads as a period elaboration of a nineteen-eighties favorite, and has not revived.
