Stowe Family History
Stowe Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of the numerous places, for
example in Cambridgeshire, Essex, Gloucestershire, Lincolnshire,
Norfolk, Shropshire, and Suffolk, so called from Old English
stow, a word akin to stoc (see Stoke), with
the specialized meaning ‘meeting place’, frequently referring to a
holy place or church. Places in Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire,
Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, and Staffordshire having this origin
use the spelling Stowe, but the spelling difference cannot be
relied on as an indication of locality of origin. The final -e
in part represents a trace of the Old English dative
inflection.Americanized form of various like-sounding Jewish
surnames.
