Krayg is a modern, phonetic respelling of Craig, the Scottish surname-turned-given-name derived from Scottish Gaelic creag, meaning “rock” or “crag.” The name began as a topographic surname for people who lived by a rocky outcrop; as a forename it gained currency in Scotland in the 19th–20th centuries and spread across the English-speaking world. Craig surged in popularity in the mid-20th century, especially in the United States, Canada, and the UK, lending visibility to rarer spellings like Krayg.

Variants and related forms include Craig (standard), Kraig, Creig, Kregg, and the Scots diminutive Craigie. In Irish, the cognate element appears as carraig in place-names. Krayg keeps the usual pronunciation (“krayg”) while offering a distinctive contemporary look. The core meaning - rock, cliff, steadfast ground - suggests stability and resilience, making Krayg an uncommon yet rooted choice with clear Celtic heritage.
