Christol is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'Christicus', which means 'of Christ'. It is an uncommon yet meaningful given name that conveys a sense of divinity and holiness. Traditionally, it has been more prevalent among individuals with ties to Christian traditions or those seeking a unique and profound moniker for their child. Christol is typically used as a boy's name but could also be considered unisex due to its timeless and non-gendered meaning. It is often misspelled or mispronounced, though it is correctly pronounced /krɪˈstoʊl/.
"Christol peaked in popularity between 1973 and 1979, with a high of 20 births in 1979. After that, it gradually decreased, becoming quite rare after the late 80s."
