Craig

Craig is a name of Gaelic origin, derived from the word 'creag,' meaning 'rock' or 'crag.' It emerged in Scotland as a topographical surname for someone who lived near a rocky outcrop or cliff. From its native Scottish soil, the name spread to Ireland and then across the globe, carried by emigrants seeking new lands and opportunities.

The name Craig has a solid, grounded sound, like the steady beat of a drum or the firm grip of a hand. It feels unpretentious and strong, perfect for a child you envision as practical and resilient. When you write 'Craig' on a birthday card, the letters seem to stand firm, a quiet testament to the dependable nature you already see in your son.
