McCrimon Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

MACCRIMMON: Gaelic MacCruimein. The name is from ON. Hromund (Hrd(b)-mundr, 'famed protector'). The name is found on one of the rune-inscribed crosses at Kirk Michael, Isle of Man, as Rumun. "Sir" Jhone Mcchrummen was a witness at Inverness, 1533 (Cawdor, p. 159). Hector M'Crimmon signed a deed on behalf of Isabella, wife of Sir Rory Mor, who succeeded to the chiefship of Dunvegan in 1595 (Macleod, The Maccrimmons of Skye, p. 4), and Macleod of Dunvegan was complainer against two men named M'Grymmen in 1599 (RPC.) A family of the name were hereditary pipers to Macleod of Macleod, the last of whom, Lieut. MacCrimmon, had a farm in Glenelg in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. The late Dr. Alexander Carmichael, who gives the Gaelic form of the name as Maccriomthain, says that a woman of the name in St. Kilda recited some of the island songs to him (CG., II, p. 380). Colin McCrimthain is in the Calendar of Oengus the Culdee under 13 December but this is a different name. Crimthann means 'fox.' The story of the Maccrimmons being of Italian origin is too silly for belief. McCrumen 1717, McGrimmon and McGrinnan 1835.
