Origin & history of Krystal1
Greek roots
Krystal is a K-spelled variant of Crystal, both from the Greek krystallos meaning clear ice or rock crystal. The Krystal spelling rose to prominence in the 1980s, partly inspired by the character Krystle Carrington on the popular television show Dynasty, which made dramatic K-spellings highly fashionable. As a name, Krystal carries the same luminous, glamorous meaning as Crystal but with a stylized, decade-defining twist that ties it strongly to the 1980s in American naming history.
