Roe is a gender-neutral name of Middle English and Irish origins to connect baby with the beauty of the Earth. Coming from the name of a small deer in Europe, Roe is a short, adorable choice to celebrate baby’s sweet nature and bountiful energy. This name will also connect your bundle of joy to the River Roe, which flows throughout Northern Ireland. Roe acts as a respelling of the Irish Ruadh from rua, which describes someone as “red-haired,” and is sure to light the fire in baby’s spirit. Roe also has Old Norse roots where it means “clearing” and can be considered a form of names like Ray, Wray, Ro, and Row. If you want to remind baby that their potential is endless, Roe and its diverse origins can do exactly that.
