Crosby

Crosby originates as an English surname, rooted in Old Norse 'kross-býr', meaning 'cross village' or 'settlement by a cross'. This Anglo-Scandinavian place name emerged in regions of England settled by Vikings, referring to a village distinguished by a prominent cross, perhaps a market cross or a boundary marker. It moved from location to family, signifying a family's origin, eventually becoming a given name.
