Crysta is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'crystallis', meaning 'crystal'. It was popularized in the late 20th century by the animated film 'The Land Before Time', where Crysta, a young dinosaur, plays the main character. The name has since gained recognition as a unique and modern feminine choice.
The name Crysta experienced a significant rise in popularity during the late 1960s to early 1980s, with a peak of 70 births in 1986. However, since then, its usage has declined considerably, with only 5 births recorded each year from 2013 to 2020. Overall, the name Crysta has been given to 1777 babies over the span of these statistics (1960-2020).
