Christal Origin and Meaning

The name Christal is a girl's name.

Christal is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Crystal. Derived from the English word for the clear, glass-like substance, it ultimately traces back to the Greek word 'krystallos,' meaning 'ice.' This alternative spelling gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, when parents began seeking more distinctive ways to spell traditional names. Christal carries connotations of clarity, purity, and natural beauty. The spelling with 'Ch' instead of 'C' gives the name a softer sound while visually connecting it to Christian or Christine. While less common than the standard Crystal spelling, Christal maintains the same appealing qualities while offering a touch of uniqueness.
