Derived from the medieval Latin CRO, CROY, intended as 'marshland', therefore CRODUS, CROVA, the meaning of the toponym seems to be 'quagmire, pond'. Some believe, however, that it derives from the vernacular "Crava", meaning 'goat', given the existence of many goats instead.

Even if the lack of structures and services aimed at making the stop or stay pleasant penalize its attractiveness, it is also true that the friendliness of its inhabitants and the integrity of the natural environment that surrounds it constitute an effective reason for recall.
