I have always liked my name. Growing up, I knew of no one else with a name like mine. I don't think it was a common name in the 50's. I was the only person with the name Crystal in my school for 12 years. (It was hard to find a key chain, or anything with that name on it! ) Name Meaning..."Cool as a Diamond that sparkles and shines. A jewel name from the English word crystal, referring to crystal glass, based on the Greek 'krustallos' meaning ice. Also a variant of Christiana, meaning Follower of Christ."
