History & Origin

Krystalyn is a coined American girls' name blending Krystal, a gem name from the Greek krystallos, with the -lyn ending that spread through countless later-twentieth-century names. It rode the strong popularity of Crystal and Krystal in its day.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its mid-1980s high before easing off by the mid-2010s. A girl named Krystalyn then is in her late thirties today.

Did you know? Krystalyn stretches Krystal, from the Greek word for 'ice,' with a -lyn tail, uniting two of its era's favorite girl-name ingredients.
