Krew is a modern American spelling of Crew, the English word for a team of people who work together, so parents read it as "team" or "crew". It joins a group of one-syllable word names, like Cash and Ace, that have gained ground among American boys since the 2010s. Krew did not exist as a given name in 2000, entered the top 1000 in 2018, peaked at number 581 in 2024 and ranks number 601 in 2025.
