The Carews of Wales, Cornwall, &c., are descended from Gerald de Carrio, called by Giraldus Cambrensis (his relative) Gerald de Windsor and Fitz-Walter, who was castellan of Pembroke castle under Arnulf de Montgomery. He married Nest, a concubine of King Henry I., and had two sons; William Fitzgerald, the progenitor of the Carews, and Maurice who accompanied Strongbow into Ireland, and founded the FitzGeralds, Geraldines, and Geralds of that country. Gent. Mag., May, 1829. Carew castle is near Milford Haven. Carey is said to be another form of this name, which circ. 1300 was spelt De Carru.
A family said to be descended from Gerald de Carrio. According to some Carey is another form of this name, which circ. 1300 was spelt De Carru. Indeed the Carews of the West of Eugland pronounce their name Cary. Some say the ancient family of Cary derived its name from the manor of Cary or Kari (as it is called in Domesday), in the parish of St. Giles-oa-the-Heath, near Launceston. Carew Castle is near Milford Haven. Carew says his family was denominated from one Carrow or Karrow that came into England with the Conqueror. Hals says the arms of the. Carrows and Carews are the same. He suggests some absurd etymologies of the name. It has been derived from carau, a stag, pl. carew; caer-cau, a Cornish-French compound, would translate the castle on the water, and cAy-ar-eau, the house on the water. It may also be from car, a rock. Carrew, Carrey, and Carry are perhaps the same name.
(Welsh.) Derived from the castle of Carrw, in Wales. The castle by the water, from Caer, castle or fort, and ew, water.
From the French, Karré; a personal name.
The Carews were one of the most ancient and distinguished of Devonshire families, but the name is now uncommon in the county, and, therefore, does not occur in my list. The first Carews, said to be of Norman blood, came into the county from Wales in the 13th century (H. R.).
