A weir or a pen for livestock
Derived from an English surname, Crews likely originated as a habitational name for someone living near a 'cruw', an Old English word for a weir or a small enclosure like a pigpen. It is also associated with the village of Crewe in Cheshire. As a given name, it functions as a modern, preppy choice in the vein of other occupational or locational surnames.
