Craig .
Craig is a Scottish , Irish and Welsh masculine given name , all variations derive from the same Celtic branch. The name has two origins. In some cases it can originate from a nickname , derived from the Scottish Gaelic word creag , meaning "rock," similar to Peter . In other cases, the given name originates from the Scottish surname Craig [1] Cognate forms of creag include the Irish creig , Manx creg , and Welsh craig . The English word "crag " also shares an origin with these Celtic words.[2] 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 , as in "egg", while the British pronunciation sounds the diphthong .[3]
