Craege is Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Craege is a modern respelling of Craig, ultimately from Scottish Gaelic creag, ‘rock, crag,’ a topographic term for a rocky outcrop. As a given name, Craig developed from a Scottish surname borne by people who lived near such features. The final -e in Craege is an ornamental alteration that signals a distinctive style while preserving the usual Craig pronunciation (KRAYG).

The surname appears in medieval Scottish records; use as a given name spread in Scotland in the 19th century and surged across the English-speaking world from the 1950s to the 1980s, then declined. Craege itself remains rare, chosen by parents seeking a familiar meaning with uncommon form. Close variants include Craig, Kraig, and the rarer Craige; related Gaelic/Irish forms are Creag/Creagh. The core sense across all forms is steadfastness and solidity - ‘rock.’
