Crowe (surname)
Crowe is a surname of Middle English origin. Its Old English origin means 'crow', and was a nickname for someone said to resemble this bird, probably if they had very dark hair. The name is historically most common in the English Counties of Norfolk and Suffolk particularly around the City of Norwich. The name may alternatively have an Irish origin: in Ireland, it may originate as an anglicisation of Mac Enchroe a clan of munster while in the Isle of Man it represents an anglicised version of Mc Crawe.
