Munrow is Irish, Scottish in Origin.

Munrow is a rare English given name and surname variant arising from the Scottish clan name Munro. The clan’s Gaelic designation Mac an Rothaich (also Mac Rothaich) denotes “son of the man from Ro/Roe,” a reference to settlers from the Roe Valley and the River Roe in County Derry, Ireland. The underlying sense is “from the Roe” or “man from the Roe,” sometimes glossed more loosely as “river man.”

Used as a first name, Munrow follows the British‑American habit of adopting family surnames as given names in the 18th–19th centuries, with broader recognition attached to the spellings Munro, Munroe, and Monroe. American usage rose under the influence of President James Monroe, and the name later became unisex through cultural associations. The Munrow spelling is attested chiefly in Britain - famously borne by early‑music scholar and conductor David Munrow (1942–1976). Variant spellings include Munro, Monro, Munroe, and Monroe.
