Meaning & origin

Crystall is a modern spelling variant of Crystal, a name that gained popularity in the mid-20th century. First recorded in 1960, it saw its peak year in 1979, though it has never entered the top 1000 rankings. The name has remained stable in usage since the 1970s, with no significant revival. As a rare choice, it offers a distinctive twist on a familiar gemstone name, appealing to parents seeking a unique yet recognizable option.

Crystall is a spelling variant of Crystal, which derives from the Greek word 'krystallos' meaning 'ice' or 'rock crystal'. The name was first used in the English-speaking world in the 19th century, often as a given name inspired by the gemstone. The spelling with double 'l' is a less common modern adaptation, appearing in the late 20th century.
