Carrew Origin and Meaning

The name Carrew is a boy's name.

Carrew is an uncommon masculine name of Celtic origin, primarily derived from an Irish and Welsh surname. The name likely originated as a place name, possibly related to the Welsh 'caer' meaning 'fort' or 'castle.' As a first name, Carrew is exceptionally rare, giving it a distinctive quality for parents seeking unique options. The name carries aristocratic associations in the British Isles, as Carrew (or Carew) has been the surname of several notable families throughout history. With its blend of strength and refinement, Carrew offers an unusual alternative to more popular Celtic-inspired names. The spelling variation with double 'r' adds to its distinctiveness compared to the more traditional surname spelling Carew.
