Chrystel is French in Origin.

Chrystel is a modern Francophone spelling of Christel, itself a German diminutive of Christine/Christiane derived from Latin Christianus and ultimately Greek Christos, ‘anointed.’ The insertion of y reflects 20th-century style trends and sometimes invites association with the English gemstone name Crystal/Chrystal, though the lines of origin are distinct. As such, the core meaning aligns with the Christian tradition: ‘follower of Christ; belonging to the anointed one.’

Usage rose in France and Belgium from the 1960s through the 1980s, with occasional appearances in Quebec; it remains rare in the English-speaking world. Chrystel is chiefly feminine, whereas the base form Christel has also been used unisex in Germanic countries. Close variants and cognates include Christel, Christelle, Chrystelle, Krystel, Christine, Christina, Christiane; and the phonetic cousins Crystal and Chrystal. Common short forms are Chris, Chrissy, Christy.
