Admin opinion.
It is felt that names Crosser-Crosier-Crozier, Anglo-Saxon-French (crux is Latin for cross) origins, pre-Reformation in the Christian church referred to the bearer of the religious staff, and different ones could be carried. The Cross would be the major one, the the Shepard’s cane Bishop’s symbol, and others. Since these staffs would likely rotate, more than one type used the type of staff would not be equated to the bearer or carrier of it, but its carrier is felt to be referred to as a crosser-crosier-crozier.
