Crackel Family History

English (Yorkshire): habitational name from either of two places in North Yorkshire, one called Crakehall and the other Crakehill, both from the Old English personal name Craca.

Old Norse kráka means ‘crow’ or ‘raven’, which relates to the origins of the name. The Old English craca also translates to ‘crow’ or ‘raven’.

Additionally, the name incorporates the Old English term halh, meaning ‘recess’.

This form of the surname is now rare in England.
