Boy name · 17 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lewie: 17 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2012.
Lewie is a Scottish diminutive of Lewis, itself an anglicised form of the Gaelic name Lachlann or the Germanic Ludwig, meaning 'famous warrior'. In Scotland, it has long been used as a friendly, familiar version of Lewis. Notable bearers include Lewie Coyle, the English footballer who plays as a right-back for Hull City, and Lewie Hay, a Scottish footballer from the early 20th century. While no place bears the name directly, the related Lewis lends its name to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. A charming variant, Lewie offers a more approachable twist on the classic Lewis, and has seen modest but consistent use in Scotland since the 1990s.
