The history of crayons is not entirely clear. In the form we think of a crayon today, a combination of pigment and wax, the history is relatively short compared to its chalk and colored pencil cousins. But the word crayon goes back to 1644, a diminutive of the French word craie (chalk) and the Latin word creta (Earth).
