Craig (given name)

Craig is a Scottish, Irish and Welsh masculine given name; all variations derive from the Celtic languages. The name has two origins. In some cases it can originate from a nickname, derived from the Scottish Gaelic word creag, meaning Template:Gloss, similar to Peter. In other cases, the given name originates from the Scottish surname Craig, which is also derived from the same Scottish Gaelic word.[1] Cognate forms of creag include the Irish creig, Manx creg, and Welsh craig. The English word crag has the same origin (Old Irish crec).[2] The given name Craig is popular in Scotland, and is used throughout the English-speaking world.[1]
In North America it is often pronounced with a short vowel sound Template:IPAc-en, as in egg, closer to the Scottish Gaelic pronunciation, while the British pronunciation uses the spelling pronunciation Template:IPAc-en.[3]
