My mother's maiden name is Crapo and I've always thought it was odd. The name is pronouced cray-poh and I think the name might be French because her father's family was mostly French-Canadian Indian. My father always says the name is probably a phonetical spelling of a French surname which must have come about because of the family's poor education.

If you have any information or suggestions about the spelling, origin, meaning, and especially of the original spelling of this name it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance! ~ Laurie
