According to Agustín Ventura Conejero, the name Crivillén comes from the Latin Fundus Crivillanus, Fundus meaning farm or place and Crivillanus coming from Criviliano or Crivilio. It is not clear who Criviliano or Crivilio refers to, but it is speculated to refer to a Roman official. Eventually, Fundus Crivillanus was shortened to Crivillanus and then again to Crivillán or Crivillén.
