Cru

The short, clipped Cru is one of those modern names that's starting to find favor -- it was given to about 100 boys last year, while Crew has vaulted onto the Top 1000. One inspiration is undoubtedly the Spanish name Cruz, which came to wider attention via the third son of Victoria and David Beckham. Cru has a handsome sound and a modern feel.

Pronounced CROO.

As of October 2026, Cru ranked #1611 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1329 in 2022.
