From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is early found in Orkney, and now appears to be confined solely to South Ronaldsay. It is curiously enough not found in Scotland proper. Manys Cromate, senior, and his son, Manys Cromade, were jurors on an assize of lawting in 1509, and John Cromate and Magnus Cromate were two of those respited for the slaughter of the earl of Caithness in 1539 (RSS., II, 3151).
