Chrystabel is English in Origin.

Chrystabel is a modern, stylized spelling of Christabel, a medieval English blended name. It combines Christ (ultimately from Greek Christos via Latin Christus, meaning "anointed, the Messiah") with Old French bel/belle, "beautiful, fair." The composite is usually interpreted as "beautiful Christian" or "beauty of Christ," and sometimes simply as "fair one of Christ."

Christabel appears sporadically in medieval records, then waned until the Romantic era; Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem Christabel (published 1816) reintroduced it to readers, and suffragette Dame Christabel Pankhurst helped cement its recognition in the early 20th century. The y-insertion of Chrystabel parallels spellings like Chrystal and rose with late-20th-century creative orthography, but the form remains rare. Variants include Christabel, Christabelle, Christobel, Cristabel, and Chrystabelle; related elaborations include Christabella and Kristabel. Familiar nicknames are Chris, Chrissy/Chrissie, Belle, Bella, and Bel.
