Origin
Meaning and history of Crystalann
The name Crystalann is a modern invention that combines the English word "crystal" with the French feminine name "Ann" or "Anne." It does not have a direct historical origin or etymology rooted in a specific language or culture.
The word "crystal" derives from the Ancient Greek word "κρύσταλλος" (krustallos), meaning "ice" or "rock crystal." It was used to describe the transparent, glass-like mineral quartz. Over time, the term evolved to refer to any transparent, glasslike material.
The name Ann or Anne traces its roots back to the Hebrew name Hannah, which means "grace" or "favor." It was popularized in Europe through its use in the Christian Bible's New Testament as the name of the mother of the Virgin Mary.
While the name Crystalann itself does not have a long historical record, it likely emerged in the late 20th century as a combination of the two elements, reflecting the rising popularity of creative and unique baby names during that period.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Crystalann appears to be Crystalann Joy Sanchez, an American actress born in 1981. Another notable person with this name is Crystalann Pichon, a French author and writer born in 1956.
Other individuals who have borne the name Crystalann include Crystalann Kendall, an American activist and advocate for victims of domestic violence, born in the mid-20th century. There is also Crystalann Feathers, an American artist and painter known for her works depicting Native American themes, whose birth year is uncertain but likely in the late 20th century.
Another person named Crystalann is Crystalann Curry, an American chef and restaurateur who gained recognition for her innovative fusion cuisine in the early 21st century.

FAQ
Crystalann: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Crystalann?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 143 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Crystalann going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,396,883 US residents.
Is Crystalann a common name?
We classify Crystalann as "Very Rare". It ranks above 69.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 150 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Crystalann most popular?
The single biggest year for Crystalann was 1990, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Crystalann is about 38 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Crystalann in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Crystalann a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Crystalann in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Crystalann still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Crystalann in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Crystalann can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
