Derived from the Latin word crispus denotation - "curly, curled; elegant".
Saints Crispin and Saint Crispinian are the Christian patron Saints of cobblers, tanners, leather workers and, since it came into being, of the leather subculture. (bikers or other people wearing leather regularly, May also refer to: biker culture). Born to a noble Roman family in the 3rd century AD, Saints Crispin and Crispinian, twin brothers, fled persecution for their faith, winding up in Soissons, where they preached Christianity to the Gauls and made shoes by night. Their success attracted the ire of Rictus Varus, the governor of Belgic Gaul, who had them tortured and beheaded c. 286.
