What is the meaning of the name Cristalita ?

Cristalita is Spanish in Origin.

Cristalita is a Spanish diminutive formed with -ita from Cristal, the Spanish word for "crystal," ultimately from Greek krystallos via Latin crystallum. As a given name it conveys "little crystal," evoking clarity, purity, brilliance, and preciousness. While Crystal and Cristal became fashionable in English- and Spanish-speaking worlds in the late twentieth century, Cristalita remains a rare, affectionate elaboration rather than a traditional saint’s name, and is occasionally chosen in Latin America and among U.S. Hispanic families.

Usage is sporadically attested from the mid-1900s onward, often evolving from a family nickname that later appears on official records. Variant and related forms include Cristal (Spanish and Portuguese), Crystal and Krystal (English), and the ornamental Cristalina in Spanish and Portuguese. Less common spellings such as Crystalita occur in English contexts. Short forms may be Cris or Cristi. Gender is typically feminine.
