Origin:German
Other Origin(s):Yiddish
Meaning:Lion
Leo babies, this one is for you! With its meaning “lion,” Loew is a boy’s name that’s all set to celebrate your little one for who they truly are. Used in the German and Yiddish-speaking populations, it can also be spelled as Löw. One of the moniker’s most famous namesakes is Judah Loew ben Bezalel, an important Talmudic scholar, polymath, and rabbi in the 15th century. He is more famously the subject of a later legend, which credits him with having created the Golem of Prague, which helped defend the community from antisemitic attacks and pogroms. Keeping in true leonine fashion, one would say! If you too, would like your little one to show courage and fortitude when it really counts, this one hits the nail on its head.
