Crayke is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England, about 2 miles east of Easingwold.
The name Crayke has been claimed as of Brittonic origin, derived from the neo-Brittonic Cumbric crẹ:g, meaning "a crag" or "prominent rock" . Craik in Scotland has the same origin. But Crayke has no prominent rock. A more likely origin is the element variously spelled crec, crug, etc, discussed at great length by Hadrian Allcroft , as originally referring to various circular structures including burial mounds, but which led to the words church and kirk. When the name was first recorded here as Creca, local speech was probably Anglo-Saxon, but if a parallel is sought in Brittonic the best may be crǖg 'isolated, abrupt hill'.
