History & Origin

Crystina respells Christina, whose root is Greek Christos, 'the Anointed One', giving the meaning 'follower of Christ'. The reshaped 'cryst-' opening borrows the glitter of Crystal, a popular name of the same years.

This particular spelling stayed rare, only a few dozen girls a year even at its peak near 1987, and faded with the fashion. It reads as a decorative late-century variant rather than a traditional form.

Did you know? Christina was a great favorite of the 1970s and '80s, and inventive spellings like Crystina - blending it with the fashionable 'Crystal' - rode that same wave.
