Rowe Roe Ro Row is Gaelic in Origin.
Rowe, Roe, Row, and the clipped Ro function as sleek, unisex given names derived mainly from English and Irish surnames. In England, Rowe/Row commonly denoted someone who lived by a “row” of houses or a hedgerow (Middle English rowe), while Roe could refer to the quick roe-deer (Old English rá) used as a nickname. In Ireland, Roe also Anglicizes Ó Ruaidh, “descendant of the red(-haired) one.” Less commonly, the surname can echo Norse Hróarr via medieval forms.
As first names, they surface in parish and colonial records but gained wider currency with the 19th–20th‑century surname‑as‑given‑name trend, and are now favored for their crisp, modern minimalism. Variants and short forms include Rowe, Roe, Row, and Ro; Ro also serves as a pet form of Rowan, Rowena, Rosemary, Roman, Rodrigo, and more. A separate Japanese element rō (郎) means “son,” though unrelated.
