The Origins of Cricket :

A number of words are thought to be possible sources for the term "cricket". In what could be the earliest known reference to the sport in 1478, it was called criquet in France. and A hundred years later, in 1598 England, it was called creckett. The name may have been derived from the Middle Dutch krick(-e), meaning a stick; or the Old English cricc or cryce meaning a crutch or staff, or the French word criquet meaning a wooden post. Another possible source is the Middle Dutch word krickstoel, meaning a long low stool used for kneeling in church and which resembled the long low wicket with two stumps used in early cricket.
