Crosbie is the English name adopted by members of the MacCrossan family. They were originally bards to the clans of O'More and O'Connor.
The MacCrossan were mainly in counties Laois and Offaly in Ardfert county Kerry in the early 16th century - the first Crosbie was Patrick. Can you believe it they have Patricks in their family too? We are not going that route at all, sorry! With my Mom, Dad, Brother and Newphew all with the name Pat or Patrick we figured that name is COVERED.
The family was reputed as important landlords, Sir Pierce Crosbie was described as being "a very powerful landlord" in 1610. This might be why Dan loves shopping for land so much =]. Don't they say you inherit certain qualities?
There was a Protestant Bishop named John Crosbie, in Ardfert from 1600 - 1620.
You can look up some of the early Crosbie family in the National Library (MSS 5033 - 5042).

Fav Boys name so far: Evan was the only name that was similar
