About 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.
Carroway for boys
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.
Carroway for girls
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.
Pronounced KAR-uh-way.
