Crate Surname Origin
A doubtful name. Perhaps a nickname from the wicker-case so called; but the Anglo-Saxon personal name Cretta (borne by a grandson of Woden). Hardly for 'great.'.

A Family History Thought:
'In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage - to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum. An emptiness. And the most disquieting loneliness.' --Alex Haley
