Christal is a variant of the name Crystal, derived from the English word crystal, which refers to a transparent or colorless quartz gemstone. The word comes from the Greek word ‘krystallos,’ meaning ‘ice.’ The name Christal has been associated with purity, faith, and transcendence in Western Christian writings. It was also used symbolically to describe the Virgin Mary’s purity. In modern times, Christal has been used as a given name, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, when it was quite popular. The name’s popularity has since declined but remains significant for its unique and meaningful connotations.
