History & Origin

Kristalyn is a modern American blend that joins Krystal or Crystal, from the Greek krystallos, 'ice' or 'clear rock', to the -lyn ending fashionable in names like Katelyn and Jaclyn. It carries the sparkling sense of Crystal in a longer, more lyrical form, part of the blend-name wave of its decades.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its mid-2000s high and rare throughout. A girl named Kristalyn then is now in her late teens or twenties.

Did you know? The Krystal in Kristalyn comes from the Greek word for ice or clear rock, the same root as the word crystal itself.
