Crosbey Origin and Meaning

The name Crosbey is a boy's name.

Crosbey is a masculine name with English origins, representing a variant spelling of the more common surname Crosby. Derived from Old Norse elements meaning 'cross' and 'settlement' or 'farm,' it historically referred to someone who lived near a cross marker or in a settlement marked by a cross. This name carries a sophisticated, preppy vibe similar to other surname-turned-first-names like Finley or Carson. While relatively uncommon as a first name, Crosbey offers a distinctive alternative to more popular choices. The spelling with an 'e' adds a unique touch to the traditional Crosby version, giving it a slightly more elaborate feel while maintaining its refined English character.
