Crew

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Crew: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2025.

With its strong, single-syllable sound, Crew originated as an occupational surname and given name in England and Scotland. It derives from the Middle English *crewe*, meaning a group of people working together, or from the Welsh *criw*, meaning a weir or fish-trap. As a given name, it has risen in prominence mainly since the late 20th century. One of the most famous bearers is Crew Morrow, the son of actor Rob Morrow. The name also shares its spelling with the English town of Crewe in Cheshire, best known for its historic railway junction, though the town’s name likely comes from a different Welsh root meaning weir. Crew remains a modern, energetic choice that avoids being cutesy, often chosen by parents for its crisp, command-like vibe.
