The surname Craigie or Craig has its origins in Scotland and Ireland. It is derived from the Scottish Gaelic word "creag," meaning "rock" or "crag." In Scotland, the name was originally used to describe someone who lived near a steep rock or cliff.
Over time, the surname spread to Ireland through Scottish settlers. The Irish variant of the name, Craigie, is less common than Craig, but both have similar origins and meanings.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Scots migrated to Ireland, particularly in Ulster, due to economic and political reasons. These Scottish settlers brought their surnames with them, including Craigie or Craig.
In Ireland, the surname Craigie or Craig can be found mainly in Ulster, as well as other parts of the country. Many bearers of the name can trace their ancestry back to Scottish origins.
Today, the surname Craigie or Craig is found not only in Ireland and Scotland but also in other parts of the world, as descendants of Scottish and Irish immigrants have spread across the globe. The name has become well-established and has variations in spelling and pronunciation, depending on the region.
