Krue
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Krue: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2020.
The name Krue is a modern, invented spelling, likely derived from the German surname and given name *Kruger*, meaning "potter" or "one who makes jugs." Its most famous bearer is the fictional Freddy Krueger, the iconic horror villain from the *A Nightmare on Elm Street* film series, which has given the name a dark, edgy association. There are no notable places directly named after a Krue, though the root *Kruger* appears in place names like the Kruger National Park in South Africa. As a first name, Krue remains extremely rare in Scotland, occasionally chosen by parents drawn to its short, punchy sound and its connection to pop culture's most famous dream-invader.
