The Name "Crepe" The word "crepe" (or "crêpe" in the French spelling) comes from the Old French word "crespe," which itself comes from the Latin "crispus," meaning curled. The term likely refers to crepes' characteristic curved edges.

The Latin crispa, meaning “creases,” gives parentage primarily to thinner, folded-style pancakes from which French crêpes, along with Mexican crepas and Turkish krep, take their lead.

Crêpes are very thin pancakes. They can be served with a wide variety of sweet and savory fillings and toppings. The breakfast staple dates back to at least 13th-century France.
