A question on Cronus

On the site it says that the name Cronus is "latinized form of the Greek Kronos, possibly derived from korone meaning "crow". I always thought that Cronus is related to "chronus" - time (as in "anachronism" and "chronicle"). Wasn't Cronus the personifiation of time in the Greek mythology?
Just curious.
