German and Swiss German: metonymic occupational name for a catcher or seller of crabs or crayfish or a nickname for someone thought to resemble a crab, perhaps because they had a peculiar gait. The name was certainly standardized from older variants like Krevetes or Krebiss which reflect Middle Low German crevet ‘crab, shrimp’, as well as Middle High German krebez. This surname is also found in e.g. Slovenia, Czechia, and Poland, often as a translation into German of the Slavic surname Rak ‘crayfish’, and in France (mainly Alsace and Lorraine). Compare Crabbs , Crapps , Crepps , Creps , and Krebbs .
Jewish (Ashkenazic): artificial name from German Krebs ‘crab’ (see 1 above).
