The name "crayfish" comes from the Old French word escrevisse (Modern French écrevisse) from Old Frankish *krebitja (cf. crab), from the same root as crawl. The word has been modified to "crayfish" by association with "fish" (folk etymology).Some kinds of crayfish are known locally as lobsters, crawdads, mudbugs, and yabbies.
