Where did the Scottish Cromy family come from? What is the Scottish Cromy family crest and coat of arms? When did the Cromy family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Cromy family history? The ancestors of the Cromy name date back to the kingdom of Dalriada in ancient Scotland. Cromy was a name for someone who lived in the place Crombie, in the parish of Aucterless in the shire of Aberdeen.The place-name Crombie was originally derived from the Gaelic term "crom," which means "crooked." Spelling in the medieval era was a highly imprecise process. Translation, particularly from Gaelic to English, was little better. For these reasons, early Scottish names are rife with spelling variations. In various documents Cromy has been spelled Crombie, Cromby, Crommie, Crommy, Cromy, Cromie, Crumbie, Crummie, Crumby, Croombie, Croommie and many more. First found in Aberdeenshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, on the lands of Crummy The land belonged to the Abbey of Culross, which was built on land gifted by Malcolm, 7th Earl of Fife, in 1217, during the reign of Alexander II.
