Creaghe is an Irish surname-derived given name, most closely related to Creagh. The name comes from Gaelic Craobhach (from craobh “branch”), describing a tree-filled place or a person who lived there. It also appears in several Irish place-names, notably parishes called Creagh in Roscommon and Clare, which helped the surname spread.

Used rarely as a first name, Creaghe surfaces in Ireland and the Irish diaspora from the 19th century onward, as surnames began to be adopted as given names. It can be considered unisex. Pronunciations vary by family and region: CRAY or CRAY-ə are common in Ireland. Spelling variants and related forms include Creagh, Cree, Creavy/Creevy (from Ó Craoibhe), and the Scots-related Craig/Cregg by association. The name carries the evocative sense of “branching, growth, and rootedness,” making it a quiet nature-inflected choice.
