Lewey is a distinctive given name of American origin, derived from the Germanic name Ludovic, which means 'famous warrior'. This name has been primarily used in the United States, where it gained popularity during the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. It's often associated with a unique and independent spirit due to its rarity.
"Lewey is not a common name, with only five recorded births in the year 1922. It saw some popularity again in 1926 and 1935, each with six births, but then dropped off until 1959 when another six Leweys were born. In total, there have been 23 babies named Lewey over these years."
