Crocket Origin and Meaning

The name Crocket is a boy's name.

Crocket is a distinctive masculine name with English origins, primarily derived from the surname Crockett. The surname itself has two possible origins: it may be a diminutive form of the Old French name 'Croc,' meaning 'hook,' or it could be derived from the Old English 'crocc,' referring to a pot or pitcher maker. The name gained notable recognition through American folk hero Davy Crockett, the frontiersman and politician who died at the Alamo. As a first name, Crocket is quite rare, appealing to parents seeking an unconventional choice with historical undertones and a rugged, pioneering spirit.
