Named for the most common term used by the Irish for the Picts--one of the ancient peoples of Scotland. 'Cruithne' was the eponymous ancestor of the Picts, and it was his seven sons who gave their names to the seven divisions of the Pictish Kingdom.
The word Picts comes from 'picti' in latin meaning 'the painted' or 'the tattooed'; the world could also come from 'peihta' in celtic, previous popular etymology, meaning 'fighter'.
