Bowie Name Meaning, Origin and Popularity

1 Min Read

People of Scottish descent can be called Bowie, which means “yellow-haired” or “blond.” The Gaelic moniker buidhe, which can be translated as “yellow” or “fair-haired,” is supposed to have been the origin of this concept. Most famously, the legendary Scottish singer-songwriter David B went by this name. Since Bowie was also blonde, it seemed like the ideal choice for a child born with a head full of golden locks.
