Where Does the Craft Surname Come From?

Some records give Kraft; others give Craft. Both point to the same German family name.

Craft writes “c” in place of the “k” found in Kraft, a common scribal difference. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms.

Heraldry is personal: arms associated with the Kraft surname were borne by specific families, and sharing the name does not mean sharing the blazon. Research your Craft family history with a full surname report and painted coat of arms.
