[Facts] Re: Cruitín
in reply to a message by Sehentsin
So, is this a first name or a surname? I’ll assume it’s a first name for now since you didn’t mention that.

For the stem, "Cruitín", it would be neither: it would be a byname (i.e. a nickname used in place of a person's real name). As a formal name (initially "Mac Cruitín") it would be a surname.
