Crump is a medieval English, Danish, Irish, French surname, meaning crippled man.[1]

Crump is an ancient surname of noble Anglo-Norman origin. The name is a derivative of "Crompton", a name given for a medieval town near Shaw, England, for its "crumpled" geographical features.

The name was first given to a branch of descendants of Lord Gislebertus Venator, the "de Crompton" family. Gilbert, being a scion of Blois and cousin-German to the conqueror, was given dominion over the area as a palatine baron for his valiant support in the conquest of 1066.

The first person in the family to use this surname was Sir Piers de Crompton, who was born in 1161 and knighted in 1183 at the age of 22.[2][3]

Other derivatives of this family name are speculated to include, but are not limited to: Crompe, Crumpton, Crumpe, Cromp, & Krump.
