Dewy is an uncommon yet intriguing given name of English origin. It is derived from the Middle English word 'dewe', which means 'dew'. Historically, it has been more commonly used as a surname. The name evokes images of freshness and natural beauty, suggesting someone who is pure, refreshing, or connected to nature. It gained some popularity in the late 19th century but remains relatively rare today.
"Dewy is not a particularly popular name, with only 6 births recorded in 1898 and then a gap of 24 years before the next birth in 1922. After that, there were steady intervals of about 20 years between each set of 5 births until 1966, totalling 21 births overall."
