I reckon it could be Oran, but I don't know why.
I thought Cran
Do you know why jj?
Crossed posts, well done.
No - but I had heard the term used when I lived In Grimsby!

according to wiki
The word is from Scottish Gaelic crann, meaning "lot, measure of herring, tree".

but then why did the Scots call it crann?
