Craig is an English-language masculine given name of an ultimately Celtic derivation. The name has two origins. In some cases it can originate from a nickname, derived from the Scottish Gaelic word ''creag'', meaning "rock," similar to Peter. In other cases, the given name originates from the Scottish surname ''Craig'', which is also derived from the same Scottish Gaelic word. Cognate forms of ''creag'' include the Irish ''creig'', Manx ''creg'', and Welsh ''craig''. The English word "crag" also shares an origin with these Celtic words. The given name ''Craig'' is popular in Scotland, and is used throughout the English speaking world,〔 though in North America it is often pronounced with a short vowel sound, as in "egg," while the British pronunciation sounds like the diphthong in "brain." ==List of people with the given name== Craig Ross (born 1992), Electrical engineer *Craig Buck (born 1993), Jive Dancer *Craig Bellamy (born 1979), Welsh footballer. *Craig Garvin (born 1985), Irish man know as Bear *Craig Biggio (born 1965), American baseball player *Craig Breslow (born 1980), American baseball player *Craig Chaquico (born 1954), American guitarist *Craig Charles (born 1964), British actor, presenter, author, poet and radio DJ *Craig Cohn (born 1983), American professional wrestler *Craig B.
