Hi there Krystle, my name's Adam :). According to behindthename.com, it says 'This is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew ??? ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Assyrian adamu meaning "to make".'
Your name, according to the same site... 'Variant of CRYSTAL' which then says 'Means simply "crystal" from the English word for the clear, colourless glass, sometimes cut into the shape of a gemstone. The English word derives ultimately from Greek ???sta???? (krystallos) meaning "ice".'
