Crispin is a male given name, now uncommon.

Saint Crispin was the patron saint of shoemakers, and the eve of his feast day—October 25th—is when the Battle of Agincourt was fought in 1415, immortalized in Shakespeare's Henry V: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers... shall be remembered upon Saint Crispin's Day.
