History & Origin

Krystie reworks Kristy with a fashionable K and -ie ending; Kristy is a short form of Kristina/Christine, from the Greek for 'anointed, follower of Christ', with an echo of Crystal. The doubled spelling flair marks it as of its moment.

It appeared in small numbers through the nineteen-eighties, peaking around 1987 alongside the era's love of Kris- and Crystal names, then faded. A Krystie today is likely a young Gen-Xer, and the streamlined Kristy has proven more durable.

Did you know? Krystie stacks the trendy K- and -ie spellings onto Kristy, cresting around 1987.
