Krystalina is in Origin.

Krystalina is a modern elaboration of Krystal/Crystal, ultimately from Greek krýstallos, “clear ice, rock crystal.” The -ina ending is a common feminine suffix in Slavic and Romance languages, yielding the sense “little crystal” or “of crystal,” with connotations of clarity, purity, and radiance. In Bulgarian and other South Slavic languages, kristal means “crystal,” explaining the parallel form Kristalina (famously borne by economist Kristalina Georgieva).

Usage is rare in English-speaking countries, where Crystal surged in the 1970s–90s and inspired creative spellings like Krystal and occasional ornate forms such as Crystalina/Krystalina. The y-spelling reflects a distinctly American aesthetic from that era, though the name remains uncommon and distinctive today. Variants include Crystalina, Kristalina, and Crystallina; related names are Crystal, Krystal, and Kristal. Nicknames and short forms include Krysta, Krys/Kris, Tala (from the middle), and Lina.
