About the name Crystal
Crystal belongs to the Greek tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Crystal first appears in Social Security records in 1884. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #9 in 1982, and in 2024 203 babies received the name — 331,907 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
