Commentary
Patronym in -ikn- from a personal name krasan(i)os. Lejeune 1971: 64, n. 208 tentatively compares CIL V 3201 grasiniae (Vicenza), but the best comparanda, already brought in by Rhŷs 1913: 59 (also Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 150, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 176, Morandi 2004: 582, Gambari 2019b: 99), are names in kraχs-, especially CIL XII 3577 craxanii at Nîmes (see AcS I: 1157, Delamarre 2007: 77, 218). The name shows the assimilation of the cluster [χs] > [s(s)] (see The Cisalpine Celtic Languages).
On kraχso-, kraχsanto- see DLG: 129: the words appear to mean 'toad'; a Late Latin craxantus/crassantus 'toad' is attested ca. 500 AD (Eucheria), and continued in dial. Fr. graisset, OProv. graissan, Catal. grexá 'toad'. If W crach 'scab' belongs here rather than with Ir. carrach 'scabby'(?), kraχs- originally meant something like 'scale, scaly'; alternatively, kraχs- 'toad' may be onomatopoetic. In any case, etymology unclear.
