Etymology

Crum is a family name that likely comes from an old English or Scottish word crum meaning 'bent' or 'crooked'. A helpful way to remember it is that people once used this word as a nickname for someone who walked a little differently or for someone from a place with a bent shape, so the surname Crum originally pointed to a person's look or where they came from.
