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.
[1] 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[2] while in the Isle of Man it represents an anglicised version of Mc Crawe (1540).
