Creavin Family Crest / Creavin Coat of ArmsCREAVIN was a locational name 'of Craven' a district in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The surnames has for many centuries been very strongly represented in Yorkshire.Families acquired a place name as a surname under three different sets of circumstances. Either the man lived or worked in, on or near some topographic formation or landscape feature, either natural or artificial or he formerly lived in a village, town or city and acquired the reputation of being from that place. Finally he owned or was lord of the village or manor designated. In the overwhelming majority of cases it is impossible to say whether a remote ancestor owned the manor or had merely once lived in that place. However, it is safe to say that in most cases a manor or village name merely identifies the place where the original bearer of the name formerly resided. Early records of the name mention Paulinus de Cravene, during the reign of Edward I (1272-1307). Agnes de Craven was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379.
