Drewry Origin and Meaning
The name Drewry is a boy's name.
Drewry is an uncommon masculine name with historic roots as an Old English surname, derived from the Norman personal name 'Drogo' or 'Dreux,' which was introduced to England after the Norman Conquest. As a first name, it carries a distinguished, slightly aristocratic feel with its connection to heritage surnames. The name might also be seen as an elaboration of the more common 'Drew,' which itself originated as a shortened form of Andrew. Pronounced DROO-ree, this name remains extremely rare as a first name in modern usage, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking something with historical depth yet virtually unique. Its rhythmic sound and unusual nature give it character while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce.
