Cowes

Orígen: Normando. Es un nombre que data de los tiempos en que Inglaterra estaba ocupada por tribus anglosajonas. El nombre se deriva de la vieja palabra inglesa "Coo", que en sí mismo deriva da la vieja palabra nórdica "ka," significado "Jackdaw." El portador original de este nombre debe haber recordado a sus contemporáneos un jackdaw, y fue referido como "Cowes" como apodo. Coe is a name whose history dates far back into the mists of early British times to the days of the Anglo-Saxon tribes. The name is derived from the Old English word "coo," which is itself derived from the Old Norse word "ka," meaning "jackdaw." The original bearer of this name must have reminded his contemporaries of a jackdaw, and was referred to as "Coe" as a nickname. First found in Lancashire, where the Coe family was seated from ancient times.
