Krystle

Meaning of Krystle

The name Krystle represents a deliberate orthographic variation of the English name Crystal, which itself originates from the Classical Greek term krystallos, referring to clear, transparent quartz. In onomastic scholarship, this lineage imbues Krystle with semantic associations of purity, luminosity and structural integrity, characteristics often highlighted in analyses of gemstone-derived forenames. The pronunciation in contemporary Anglo-American usage is rendered as KRIS-tuhl (/krɪstl/), reflecting a single-stressed, two-syllable phonemic structure. Demographic records from Tennessee between 1981 and 1988 illustrate a modest but noteworthy trajectory in regional adoption: the name ascended from rank 131 (eight occurrences) in 1981 to its apex at rank 101 (thirty-four occurrences) in 1985, thereafter experiencing minor rank fluctuations while maintaining visibility within the state’s top 125. Such patterns underscore Krystle’s period-specific resonance within late twentieth-century American naming conventions.
