The Crockett name has its origins in Scotland, specifically among the clans of the Dalriadan kingdom. These clans inhabited the Hebrides islands and the rugged western coast of Scotland. The name Crockett is derived from the Gaelic personal name Mac Riociard, which means “son of Richard”. The Gaelic name itself comes from the Germanic words “ric” (meaning power) and “hard” (meaning hardy or brave) 12.
In Scotland, the Galloway family name Crockett is believed to have originated from Macriocaird, where “mac” signifies “son (of)” and the personal name Rickard (a variant of Richard). The earliest recorded spelling of the name dates back to Scotland 3. Variations of the name include Crok(k)at and Croket 3.
So, the Crockett name has a rich history rooted in Scotland, reflecting both Gaelic and Germanic influences. Wilsonathome1 (talk) 00:08, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Davy Crockett appears as a character in the musical The Burnt Part Boys, written by Chris Miller & Nathan Tysen, in the song "Davy Crockett". Please consider adding this instance to the "Theatre" section. (2006 world premiere, 2010 Off-Broadway premiere). Thanks. Jkoft (talk) 15:43, 15 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

The information on the ancestors of David Crockett of Alamo fame is false as they were never Huguenots. The parents of David Crockett the Elder, the grandfather of David Crockett of Alamo fame, are unknown. The FTDNA Crockett surname DNA project has shown this line to not be kin to that of Joseph Louis Crockett or any other Crockett lines mentioned in the book Notable Southern Families - The Crockett Family. That book was written in 1928 and we know much more now than the authors French and Armstrong did in 1928. This biography needs to be amended with this false Huguenot ancestry deleted as well as the false parents of David Crockett the Elder.
