Crépin: History, origin and modern usage
Crépin is a remarkably uncommon name, primarily found in areas with French heritage, like parts of Belgium, France, and Canada, and within French-American communities in the USA. Originating from the Roman name *Crepinianus*, it evolved through Old French and became linked to Saint Crépin, the patron saint of shoemakers. Historically more prevalent in medieval France, its usage has declined over time. The name carries a vintage and slightly rustic mood, evoking a sense of quiet strength and tradition. It is overwhelmingly masculine, with no significant feminine usage. Its rarity makes it a distinctive, though unconventional, choice for parents.
