Something's brewing! While some say Brew is a boy's name, others claim it's more of a feminine choice. This English moniker describes the method of making beer and ale, or tea and coffee, or the act of bringing something about in general. No matter your taste, the name Brew holds a sense of innovation, craftsmanship, and pleasure—because who doesn't love sinking into their favorite beverage? Brew is also considered an Anglicization of the Irish last name Ó Brugha, meaning "descendant of the farmer," or of the Manx MacVriw, meaning "son of the judge." A unique alternative to Drew, Prue, and Rue, Brew already has a classic sound and age-old vibe going for it.
