Covey Origin and Meaning

The name Covey is a boy's name meaning "small brood of birds; victorious".

A little like Cory or Cody, with a hint of Murphy and Casey, Covey is both a word name and a surname. As a word, it refers to a "small brood of birds" - or a synonym for a flock or a swarm. As a surname, it has its origins in Irish, deriving from Cobhthach, meaning "victorious".

With bird-related names such as Callum, Ava, Wren, and Jay feeling familiar and well-used, and with last names as first names in style, Covey might offer an unexpected alternative - though, beware, some may pronounce it CO-vee and think about Covid.
