The surname Craigge, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back several centuries. The name is believed to have originated in Ireland, where it was derived from the Gaelic word "creag," meaning "rock" or "crag." This suggests that the early bearers of the surname may have lived near or on rocky outcrops.
The Craigge surname can be traced back to the Gaelic sept of Mac Craith or Mac Raith, which translates to "son of the rock." The sept was primarily found in County Donegal and County Derry in Northern Ireland. Members of this sept were known for their skills in various professions such as stonemasonry, carpentry, and farming.
During the period of British colonization in Ireland, many Irish surnames underwent anglicization. As a result, the surname Mac Craith or Mac Raith evolved into various forms, including Craigge. This anglicized variation of the name likely occurred due to the phonetic similarity and pronunciation shifts over time.
Today, the surname Craigge is relatively rare and may only be found within specific Irish communities or among descendants of Irish immigrants. It serves as a reminder of the rich Gaelic heritage and the enduring legacy of the people who once bore this name.
