Mccrave Family History

Mccrave Surname Meaning

Probably a reduced form of a longer Irish name such as McCraven, McNevin, or McGreevy. Woulfe points out that Mac Cnáimh ‘son of bone’ (clearly related to Mac Cnáimhín; see Nevin) existed in the past.

McCrave could be a development of Mac Cnáimh with replacement of n by r in the cluster -cn- (for this process compare McCracken).

Alternatively, perhaps a variant of Magrath.
