Lew
lew
US Popularity:27005
Origin:British
Meaning:Famous in battle, famous warrior; Lion
The masculine name Lew is actually a variant of two different monikers. You might guess the first one, as you only have to add two letters to Lew to spell it, the English title Lewis. Stemming from the French Louis or the German Ludwig, Lewis means "famous in battle" or "famous warrior," representing the determination and bravery that will help your kiddo go far. Lew is also a Polish interpretation of Lev, the Russian and Ukrainian form of the Latin Leo. Translating to "lion," Lew brings to mind images of the fierce big cat majestically strutting through their habitat. Equipped with the confidence and courage found in both of their name's interpretations, little Lew will surely stride towards success.
