History & Origin
Krystol reworks Crystal, a name taken from the ordinary word for the clear, glittering mineral. That word comes through Latin from the Greek krystallos, originally 'clear ice' and later 'rock crystal' or quartz. Crystal soared as a girls' name in the nineteen-eighties, helped along by a famous television character, and its popularity spun off many spellings, Krystol among them, each keeping the same bright, glassy meaning.
This spelling was scarce, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak in the mid nineteen-eighties. A Krystol born then is around forty now, a contemporary of the Crystal boom.
