Crowley

Meaning of Crowley

Crowley is a distinctive and intriguing name for boys, pronounced as KRO-lee (/kroːli/). The name has roots in Irish heritage, derived from the Gaelic "O'Cruadhlaoich," which means "descendant of the hardy warrior." Crowley carries a sense of strength and resilience, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a unique yet powerful name for their son. While not commonly found among newborns in the United States, with occurrences ranging between 7 to 10 babies annually over recent years, its rarity adds to its charm. The variation Crowly offers a slightly different take on this compelling name. Crowley may also evoke cultural associations with notable figures such as Aleister Crowley, an influential English occultist and writer, giving the name an air of mystique and intellectual depth.
