One of the earliest recorded instances of the name CRUMRINE can be found in the Bavarian town records of Augsburg, dating back to the 15th century. A certain Hans Crumrine is mentioned in these documents from the year 1472.

In the 16th century, the CRUMRINE name appeared in several other German records, including the parish registers of the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where a family named Crumrine resided in the late 1500s.
