Krispin is a masculine name derived from the Latin name Crispinus, which was originally a Roman family name meaning 'curly-haired.' It's a variant spelling of Crispin, a name with historical significance associated with Saint Crispin, the patron saint of shoemakers. The name gained some recognition through Shakespeare's Henry V, which features the famous St. Crispin's Day speech.
