Warre Origin and Meaning

The name Warre is a boy's name meaning "strong raven, wandering raven; guard".

Warre is a Dutch and Flemish name, which derives from the Germanic Walderam or Walarman, via a rather twisty-turny path. It's theorized that Warre is a short form of Walraven, an alternative transcription of the name Walram which is a contracted form of either Walderam, meaning "strong raven", or of Walaram, meaning "wandering raven".

Other theories suggest it derives from the Old English weard meaning "guard", or from the Germanic Wehr meaning "weir" or "dam".

Popular in Belgium, it re-entered the Top 100 baby names in 2023.
