 Celebrating the popular success of his novelty, de Marigny gave the name Rue de Craps to a street in his new subdivision in New Orleans.The central game, called Pass from the French word Pas meaning pace or step, has been gradually supplemented over the decades by many companion games which can be played simultaneously with Pass.Now applied to the entire collection of games, the name craps derives from an underclass Louisiana mispronunciation of the word "crabs", which in aristocratic London had been the epithet for the numbers two and three.
