Origin of rowe Total Records: 7  Origin of rowe, Meaning of rowe Origin: Barrows is a location name, meaning dwelling by the grove, or dweller by the hill. English surname Surnames: Barrow, Barrowe, Barrows, Berrow Submitted by: Sandy Holladay Origin of rowe, Meaning of rowe Origin: Crowell is derived from the Old English 'crawe', meaning 'crow's spring'. In fact, there is a Crowell,Oxfordshire,England which is near to the source of a spring located along an old Roman roadway. First families to America used the Crowe surname and later added the 'L'. Under heated debate is whether some Crowells are descended from the Oliver Cromwell and dropped the 'W'. In my opinion, Cromwell's son has proven to have lived, died, & buried in England.

Surnames: Crowell Submitted by: Andree Roaf Origin of rowe, Meaning of rowe Origin: The surname Thrower or Trower, perhaps derived from the production of silk thread, there are a moderate number of instances of the name in Norfolk and Suffolk in the period c. 1250-1350, and the Latin iaculator, which appears as a bye-name in Suffolk early in the 12th century, may be a translation of Thrower or Trower. If this surname is connected with such a specialised, and luxury trade as the production of silk thread, it is surprising to find that those bearing the name are dispersed in rural areas, and that they are concentrated neither in major towns, such as Norwich, nor in any rural area where it might be supposed such a trade had become specialised. OR When the clay was ready to be shaped in to jar, a crock, a bowl or a dish of any kind this was called throwing and the man who did this was called Thrower or Trower. After this, handles would be put on if needed and after another night of seasoning it was ready for firing. Surnames: Trower Submitted by: Peter 2/17/2012 4:23 PM Page 1 of 1
