Name Origin

The name Dewey is of Old English origin, derived from the surname Dewey which itself originated from the Old French personal name 'Deo' meaning 'God' combined with the suffix '-ey', indicating 'island' or 'water meadow'. It became popular as a given name in English-speaking countries, especially in the United States, partly due to the influence of the American educator and politician Thomas Dewey.
