Why is the pavilion of the first London World Expo called "Crystal Palace"?

The first London World Expo built a beautiful exhibition hall in London, which was called Crystal Palace in English. Crystal Palace may be one of the earliest steel-glass structures in human history.

The whole building is made of iron and glass, which looks crystal clear and the indoor light is bright, so it is called "Crystal Palace".
