History & Origin

Lacrystal is a coined American girls' name appearing in United States records from the late 1970s. It joins the popular La- prefix to Crystal, a gem name from the Greek krystallos, in the inventive style of its cohort.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its early-1980s high before fading by the late 1990s. A girl named Lacrystal then is in her early forties today.

Did you know? Inside Lacrystal sits Crystal, from the Greek word for 'ice,' the same root behind the clear gemstone, dressed up here with a La- prefix.
