Croissant is a �buttery, flaky, viennoiserie or Vienna-style pastry named for its well-known crescent shape.� By the way, viennoiserie is baked goods that are yeast-leavened, same as breads. In making croissant, �the dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a sheet, in a technique called laminating.�

Kipferl is the ancestor of croissant. They have been first documented in Austria back in the 13th century. According to Wikipedia, kipferl can be made plain or with nut or other fillings. Some consider the rugelach a form of kipferl. In 1839 croissant, is invented by a 92 years old Austrian artillery officer, August Zang in Paris. He is the founder of the Viennese bakery 'Boulangerie Viennoise'. �This bakery, which served Viennese specialties including the kipferl and the Vienna loaf, quickly became popular and inspired French imitators.� Kipferl's French version made with a shape of a crescent moon that has become popular all over the world.
