The changes which so many of the Irish and Scottish family names have undergone in their translation into English are no greater that that which has occurred in this Welsh name. For that matter, they are no greater than those which have oc- curred in many purely English family names. The name of Carey, or Carew, for it is spelled both ways, the preference being for the latter in England, is pronounced the same in either case, that indicated by the former spelling. Carew, however, is the more ancient spelling, and if you want to go straight back to the Welsh, it's ‘Carrw,” It is a place name, the name of a famous castle in Wales, and it has become a family name in the usual way that place names have done. That is, it is a development of an original use to indicate the locality from which the individual to whom' it was applied -had c The name of the castle, w," is a combination of “caer,” which means castle, or fort, and “ew,” which means water. Sometimes the particular spelling v_comes -from a place name, in the parish of St. Giles, near Launceton. It also has a lic origin. (Copyright. 1926.) As Good as Any.
