Carolay

While Carraway brings to mind Nick Carraway, the narrator of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, there is no reason why this cool surname-name wouldn't work on a girl. Modern and stylish, with a friendly and sporty vibe, Carraway is a trendy-sounding name that feels almost vintage due to its literary connections.

Carraway

While Caraway-with-one-R brings to mind nature and herbs, the double R variant is reminiscent of Nick Carraway, the narrator of the classic novel The Great Gatsby. With its trendy surname feel and literary connections, Carraway is a gem waiting to be discovered.

A mellow sounding surname, Carroway could work as a fresh spin on Caroline and a unique way to get the nicknames Coco or Carrie. Reminiscent of the earthy, bitter herb, caraway, and with a touch of literary style thanks to Nick Carraway, narrator The Great Gatsby, Carroway might be one to watch out for.
 
Derived from the Old English gara and weg, the name means "path or road to a triangular piece of land" and was originally found among an Anglo-Saxon tribe who lived near such a place.
 
While the name has yet to feature as a given name in the US stats, it was chosen by reality TV star, Sadie Robertson Huff, who named her daughter Kit Carroway in 2025. Carroway is the star's own middle name, and likely her grandmother's maiden name.

Carroway

Similar in sound to caraway (a bitter, earthy herb), Carraway (Nick, narrator of The Great Gatsby) and Calloway (a quietly rising choice for boys), Carroway is a surname-style choice that could work as a unisex given name. It might appeal to those looking for a creative way of honoring a Wayne and/or a Caroline.
 
Originally found among an Anglo-Saxon tribe who lived near a road or path by a triangular piece of land, it combines the Old English elements gara and weg to describe such a location. 
 
While it has never appeared in the US stats, Carroway was used by reality TV star, Sadie Robertson Huff, for her daughter's middle name in 2025. It is a family name for the star, but her use of it may well help bring the name to people's attention.

Confident and outdoorsy, with a hint of sweetness too, Cavvy is a cowgirl-style word name, used to describe a herd of horses, particularly saddle horse kept on a ranch for working or riding. A rare option that might appeal (sound-wise) to fans of Savvy, Livvy, Callie, and Evy, it has appeared in social media birth announcements.
 
Ultimately from the Spanish caballada, the name shouldn't be confused with cavy, a group of South American rodents including capybaras and guinea pigs, or with cavities, as in tooth decay.
