I did a quick google search and the word "crepin" (Singular?) shows up frequently as a name- various people and seems to be a location names as well. I think there's a disease as well. the word "crepiner" shows up again as a name, though not as much under the first search, and as I believe a piece of a musical instrument. I'm not 100% sure of the context, since the original site was danish and I was looking at a translated version. There were a number of danish sites and/or books on the web that used this word. You want to take a look and see.
