I would assume Crun is straightforwardly "Container run" with a slight bit of play on Runc (which presumably means "Run container") to emphasize that it is instead, written in C.
Given that this is an internal program name and not a product name, and that it is actually a pretty descriptive name terseness aside, I really don't see how it is so bad. Even many advanced users may never see this project name, and if they do, it will probably be in the context of being the process that actually runs their containers, in which case it should be pretty obvious.
