As a standalone first name, Stew is uncommon, informal, and direct. More frequently used as a nickname for Stewart/Stuart or Steven/Stephen, it has a friendly, approachable quality. The name's association with the food dish 'stew' sometimes gives pause to parents considering it as a formal given name. Despite this, Stew has occasionally appeared as an independent name, particularly in English-speaking countries, appealing to those seeking a brief, unpretentious masculine name with historical connections.

The name gained international recognition through Belgian singer-songwriter Milow (born Jonathan Vandenbroeck), who adopted it as his stage name in the early 2000s. While still relatively uncommon, Milow has been gradually increasing in usage among parents seeking a contemporary yet approachable name with a gentle sound. Its short, melodic quality and friendly 'o' ending give it a warm, appealing character that works well in various cultural contexts.

Pascow gained some recognition in popular culture through Stephen King's novel 'Pet Sematary,' where Victor Pascow appears as a character. This literary connection may influence some contemporary usage of the name.
