The name Dow is a boy’s name of English and Irish origin. It’s believed to stem from the Gaelic dhu or dubh which translates to “black.” It may also be linked to the Scottish terms don or doo, both signifying a dove or pigeon, so Dow may be interpreted as “blackbird” or “jackdaw bird.” It’s also speculated that it could be a variant of the names Dove or Dawe. Help little Dow sharpen their talons and fly high as they chase their dreams.
