Facts About
Croft
Croft could come from several different uses. It could have been originally a nickname, and later have become assigned as a surname. It would have come from the Old English word ‘craeft’ meaning crafty, and would have been given to a sly and clever person. However it could also be a topographical surname, given to a person who lived next to a croft which is a small plot of land used like farmland but on a smaller scale. Like with many topographical surnames there is the likelihood of the name also being used as a locational surname, as place names are often given topographically. Therefore Croft could also have been given as a surname to a person who originated from any of the places called Croft across Britain. |
