The surname Craig has its origins in the Gaelic language of Ireland. It is derived from the Old Gaelic word creag, which means rock or crag. The name is believed to have been given to those who lived near a prominent rock or crag in the landscape. The surname is commonly found in the northern counties of Ireland, particularly in Ulster.
The Craig surname can be traced back to ancient times in Ireland, and it has a rich history in the country. The first recorded instance of the surname was in 1178, when a man named John de Craeg was mentioned in historical documents in County Ayr, Scotland. This suggests that the surname may have originated in Scotland before spreading to Ireland.
During the period of British colonization and settlement in Ireland, many Scottish families moved to Ireland and brought their surnames with them. This migration likely contributed to the spread of the Craig surname in Ireland.
Today, the Craig surname is still prevalent in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora around the world. It is a symbol of the ancestral heritage and history of those with Irish roots, representing a connection to the land and the landscape of Ireland.
