Kerestal is in Origin.

Kerestal is a rare modern given name, likely coined in English-speaking contexts. Its form draws on the Kerst-/Kirst- family (Kerstin, Kirsten, Kirsty), which descend from Latin Christina and ultimately Greek Christos, “anointed,” while the Dutch noun kerst (“Christmas”) gives the name a seasonal, festive undertone. Parents who choose Kerestal often read its meaning as “belonging to Christ” or “born at Christmas.”

Documented usage is very sparse before the 21st century, and it remains unusual worldwide. Because of its resemblance to Kerstin and Kestrel, Kerestal is sometimes used for girls but is structurally unisex. Spelling variants include Kerestel, Kerestelle, and Kerestall; short forms such as Keri, Kest, and Esta are natural nicknames. Related international cognates by origin rather than spelling include Christina, Christine, Kirsten, Kerstin, and Krista, all conveying the core sense of “a Christian; one who is anointed.”
