Origins

 
KRON

German, Dutch, and Swedish: from Middle High German kron(e) ‘garland’, ‘chaplet’, ‘diadem’, Swedish krona (from Latin corona). As a German surname it may have been a habitational name for someone who lived in a house with this sign or a nickname for a bald or tonsured man. It might also have also been a nickname for a slender, long-legged individual. [Source: Ancestry.com]
