Cromie Surname Definition:
Woulfe gives two alternative Irish forms for Cromie viz Ó Cromtha and Cromtha, the latter a simple adjective meaning crooked. I think, however, that some Irish Cromies and Crummys, who belong almost exclusively to Down and adjacent Ulster counties, are of Scottish descent.

Cromie Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Woulfe gives two alternative Irish forms for Cromie viz Ó Cromtha and Cromtha, the latter a simple adjective meaning crooked. I think, however, that some Irish Cromies and Crummys, who belong almost exclusively to Down and adjacent Ulster counties, are of Scottish descent. In Scotland the name Cromie (with six variants) is well known. There it derives from the place Crombie in Aberdeenshire: the B is not pronounced. Similarly in Ulster the Scottish surname Abercrombie is sometimes abbreviated to Crombie, which is pronounced and sometimes even writted Cromie. One such was John Cromie who was prominent among the defenders of Derry in 1689. That the Cromies may also be Irish Gaels is indicated by the fact that Petty's “census” of 1659-60 records five families of O'Cromy in the barony of Armagh.‘ A Fiant of 1602 mentions Teig McConnogher O'Cromy, yeoman, of Dromkarra (Co. Cork).
In the same source for the previous century O'Crome and O'Croyme occur in Counties Meath and Galway and these may be earlier forms of the same surname.
Crombie, q.v.
This name is peculiar to Co. Armagh and adjacent areas. Cromie is a Scottish toponymic; but families called O’Cromy were in Co. Armagh in the seventeenth century, so the Irish forms Ó Cromtha can also be accepted. SIF 44
From the French, Crombez; a personal name.
