craftsmans

Craftsmans is not a standard entry in major English dictionaries. In ordinary usage, the singular is craftsman, and the conventional plural is craftsmen. Some modern writers prefer craftspeople or artisans to avoid gendered language. The form craftsmans would be considered nonstandard for the plural of craftsman and is rarely used outside of branding or fictional naming.

As a word form, craftsmans can appear in two ways. First, as a misspelling or nonstandard plural in ordinary prose. Second, as a proper noun in branding, fiction, or organizational names. In those cases, capitalized craftsmans would function as a name rather than as a common noun, much like any other brand or fictional group. Because it is not a recognized plural in standard usage, its meaning would rely on context.

Historical note. The well-established plural of craftsman has long been craftsmen, derived from man to men. In contemporary English, craftspeople and skilled artisans are often used as inclusive alternatives. When referring to a group of individuals who practice craftsmanship, the general terms craftspeople, artisans, or skilled workers are preferred over craftsmans to avoid ambiguity.
