@BARNIE,


Craigh is a Gaelic name Meaning: Cliff; rock
Now find an English-Latin translation and you have it.

Depending the shape of the rocks or cliffs it can be:

Rupes or scopulus.

@BARNIE,
Generally speaking, names don't get 'translated.' Their spelling (and pronunciation) might change when carried from one language to another but it would hardly ever be a direct translation. Thus the name might be 'John' in English, 'Jean' in French, 'Ian' in Scots Gaelic, 'Juan' in Spanish or 'Giovanni' in Italian. But it hasn't been translated to these different versions, just adapted to the needs of the target language.

Thus, Craig might become something like Craegus or Cregus in Latin. ( --us is the common masculine suffix in the nominative case)

@George,
You know you shouldn't take for face value what you read on the internet, George.

Especially when it comes to humor..
