The derivation of the name "Cricket" can't be tied down precisely. However, there are a couple of possibilities:
It may be named after the bat - in Old French criquetmeans a kind of club, in Middle Dutch crick(e), means a stick, in Old English Crycc means a crutch or staff - although crycc would have probably have been pronounced Crich.
Alternatively, it may be named after the wicket - krickstoel is a long low stool which resembles the early form of wicket (with two stumps).
It could also have been from when shepherds played with their staffs or crooks so you had to 'Crook it' (gradually turning into 'Cricket').
A number of words are thought to be possible sources for the term "cricket". In the earliest known reference to the sport in 1598 (see below), it is called creckett. The name may have been derived from the Middle Dutch krick(-e), meaning a stick; or the Old English cricc or cryce meaning a crutch or staff.
As you might expect, there are a number of explanations although they are generally based on a 'stick' or a 'crook' In 1301 the word 'creag'was used. In 1598, 'creckett' was recorded. There was an old Dutch word 'krick(e)' But, wherever the word came from it was generally translated from 'something to do with a bent or crooked stick
