The origin of the surname Crook or Crooke can be traced back to Ireland. This surname is of Anglo-Norman origin, derived from the Old Norse word "Krokr," meaning "a hook" or "a bend." It is believed that the name was brought to Ireland by Viking settlers during the medieval period. The Crook surname can be found in various parts of Ireland, but it is more commonly associated with the province of Ulster. It is believed that the Crook family originally settled in the counties of Antrim and Down, where they became prominent landowners and held positions of influence. Over time, the surname Crook underwent variations in spelling, with Crooke being one of the most common variations. This variation can be attributed to changes in pronunciation and dialect. The Crook or Crooke family played significant roles in Irish history. Some members of this family were involved in the defense of the Irish people during times of conflict, particularly during the Williamite War in the late 17th century. Today, descendants of the Crook or Crooke surname can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, due to emigration over the years.
