Meaning & Origins
From a nickname from the Gaelic word creag ‘rock’, or in some cases a transferred use of the Scottish surname derived as a local name from this word. Though still particularly popular in Scotland, the given name is now used throughout the English-speaking world and is chosen by many people who have no connection with Scotland.
