What is the meaning of the name Cristal ?

The baby name Cristal is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkrɪs.təl/ (KRIS-təl) — English,/kɾisˈtal/ (krees-TAL) — Spanish.

Cristal is in Origin.

Cristal is a modern given name derived from the English word name Crystal and the Romance-language noun cristal (“crystal, glass”). Its roots trace to Greek krýstallos, “ice; crystal,” via Latin crystallum and Old French cristal, giving it meanings of clarity, brilliance, and purity. In Spanish and Portuguese, Cristal is the standard common noun and works as a direct borrowed name; in French, cristal is the noun but the given name is uncommon.

As a personal name it rose with late‑20th‑century word‑name trends, paralleling the boom of Crystal in the United States (peaking in the 1980s). Cristal saw modest use, especially among Spanish‑speaking families and in communities favoring distinctive spellings, and it sometimes carries a luxury aura through cultural references. Variants and cognates include Crystal, Krystal, Chrystal, Christal, Krystle, and rare Cristalle. Possible short forms are Cris and Crys.
