Chrystabel Origin and Meaning

The name Chrystabel is a girl's name.

Chrystabel is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Christabel, which combines the elements "Christ" and the Latin "bella" meaning beautiful – essentially meaning "beautiful Christian" or "follower of Christ." This elegant name gained literary prominence through Samuel Taylor Coleridge's unfinished poem "Christabel" (1816), which helped popularize it during the Romantic period. The spelling variation with a "y" adds a distinctive touch while maintaining the name's graceful character. Despite its classical appeal and literary connections, Chrystabel remains relatively uncommon, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking a name with historical depth, spiritual significance, and uniqueness.
