Crystelle
About Crystelle
Crystelle is a feminine name derived from 'crystal,' which comes from the Greek 'krystallos' meaning 'ice' or 'clear ice.' It's a variation of Cristal or Crystal, with the French-inspired '-elle' suffix adding elegance and femininity. The name evokes qualities of clarity, purity, and beauty. Crystelle emerged in popularity during the late 20th century when nature-inspired names were trending. While never reaching the mainstream popularity of Crystal (which peaked in the 1980s), Crystelle offers a more sophisticated alternative with the same beautiful connotations. The name is particularly appreciated in French-speaking regions and among families seeking a name with both natural symbolism and refined sound.
Pronounced kris-TEL.
As of October 2026, Crystelle ranked #13820 in US births in 2012 SSA, peaked at #7709 in 1977.
