Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: Irish Brendan, Aileen, James Patrick, Kieran.
Welsh (Pembrokeshire): habitational name from any of various minor places in Wales, in particular one near Pembroke with a major castle, named from Welsh caer ‘fort’ + rhiw ‘hill, slope’. The surname was taken to Ireland soon after the Norman invasion of England and was Gaelicized as de Carrún. In the 16th century a family called Carew from Devon played an important part in establishing the Tudor administration in Ireland.
Cornish (Somerset and Devon): from the cognate Cornish word kerrow (plural of ker ‘fort’), which occurs seven times as a placename in Cornwall.
