History & Origin

Crimsyn is a modern respelling of crimson. The word came into English through Old Spanish cremesin from Arabic qirmizi, the name of a deep red dye made from the kermes insect. Colour word-names such as Scarlet, Hazel and Sienna have grown steadily in U.S. use, and Crimsyn is a bold, y-spelled member of that set (said 'KRIM-zin').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, bold, and newly emerging.

Did you know? Crimson travelled a long way into English - from Arabic qirmizi through Old Spanish - and it named a dye made from the kermes insect long before it named a girl.
