Cressant Origin and Meaning

The name Cressant is a girl's name.

Cressant is a rare feminine name with French origins, possibly derived from 'croissant' meaning 'crescent' or 'growing'. It evokes imagery of the crescent moon and carries connotations of growth and elegance. The unique spelling with double 's' distinguishes it from the French pastry, giving it a sophisticated edge. While uncommon in most English-speaking countries, Cressant offers parents seeking distinctive names an option with subtle European flair. Its rarity means a child named Cressant is unlikely to share her name with classmates, though the pronunciation may occasionally need clarification.
