General notesPerhaps hypocoristic short name derived from the element underlying the name Craxsantus, *craxso- 'toad', if the spelling with indicates the presence of some sort of velar (g, c, χ) in the cluster . in Cracco would then be a hypocoristic gemination (with devoicing) thereof (cf. Bricco from Brigo-°, Seccio from Sego-°).
