Name Meaning

English: habitational name from Creech Saint Michael in Somerset or East Creech in Dorset, both named with the Celtic element crṻg ‘mound, hill’.

English: perhaps a topographic name for someone who lived by a creek, if Reaney is right to presume a Middle English word crich(e), creche (Old English cricc) with this sense. Alternatively, from Middle English cracche, crecche ‘manger, stall; stable’, perhaps ‘cottage or hut’.

Manx: shortened form of Gaelic Mac Raois, an altered form of Mac Aonghuis ‘son of Aonghus (Angus)’. Ballacreetch in Onchan on the Isle of Man means ‘Creetch's farm’.
