Default Kramnik

Lately I have read an internet site www.moskva.ru with its great city guide.
And I have learned that the word "Kremlin" probably comes from the word
"Kremnik" a derivative from either the ancient Greek word "kremnos" which
means "hard/strong" or from the Slavonic word "krem" which means simply
"forest".
So my question to the linguistic experts is : is it possible that the name
Kramnik has sth in common with Kremlin ? ;-)

Regards,
Jerzy
