English: habitational name from either of two places: Carrow in
Norfolk or Carraw in Northumberland. The first is thought to be named
from Old English carr ‘rock’ (a Celtic loan word) +
hoh ‘spur of a hill’, while the last may be named either
from an Old British plural of carr, or from carr + Old
English raw ‘row’.Possibly in some cases a
reduced form of the Cornish surname Nancarrow.
