Crellin Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Manx) prob. a metathetic form of Crennell, q.v.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

(the latter by metathesis from the former) were all probably contracted from MacRannall or MacRaghnaill, 'Reginald's Son.' Raghnall is the Celtic form of the common Scandinavian name RÖgn- valdr (rögn, a collective name for the Gods, is a frequent commencement of proper names, and valdr, 'ruler', is equally common as an ending). It was not common in Ireland till the thirteenth century.

'Godfrey MacMicRagnaill, king of Dublin, ' a.d. 1075.

RÖgnvaldr occurs in the Flateyjarbóc.

Reginald or Ragnvald was the name of several of the Kings of Man.

Andrew Reynesson was one of the Keys in 1418.

John Crellin was a lieutenant in Peel Castle in 1610.

Crellin appears to be a purely Manx name, but, as in Cottier, there is a tradition of French origin, which, in this case, is said to be from the noble family of De Crillon. It is remarkable that in the parishes where Crellin is common, Crennell is scarcely found, and vice versâ.

Manx Names (1890) by Arthur William Moore
