An uncommon Greek pick — distinctive and rare.
Kristl is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a compact variant of Kristal or Crystal — from the Greek krystallos, meaning 'ice' or 'clear, transparent.' Crystal as a given name surged in the 1980s, and Kristl offers an unconventional spelling that feels almost like a Scandinavian diminutive.
Minimal and crystalline, Kristl has the clarity of its namesake material — a name that lets its bearer's own light shine through.
Kristl has 11+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 1964.
