Crosbee is a modern respelling of the English and Scottish surname Crosby, from Old Norse kross “cross” + býr “farm, settlement,” denoting “settlement by the cross.” The name arose in Viking-settled parts of northern England, attached to places called Crosby in Lancashire, Cumbria, and Merseyside, and spread into Scotland and Ireland through later migration (Irish families often spelled it Crosbie). As a surname it appears in medieval records with forms such as Crosbi and Crossby.

As a given name, Crosby - and by extension Crosbee - follows the long-running English-language practice of using surnames as first names. It saw periodic use in the United States, gaining wider recognition via entertainer Bing Crosby and later cultural figures like musician David Crosby and hockey star Sidney Crosby. Variants include Crosby, Crosbie, Crosbey, and Krosby; short forms Cros or Bee. Contemporary usage is largely masculine but comfortably unisex.
