Crew Gaines: The Meaning Behind Chip and Joanna's New Baby Boy's Name

With the arrival of son Crew on Thursday,ChipandJoanna Gainesnot only broke their tradition of D names for boys (they also share sonsDuke, 9, andDrake, 13) but chose a moniker that’s actually just 23 years old.

Crew was first used as a term for a group of people doing the same work in the 17th century, building on its meaning of a company of seamen on a ship, as in a navy crew. Etymologically, crew is related to the Latin wordaccrue, which means increase or growth, another term whose positivity adds to Crew’sappeal as a name(and appropriate for the growing Gaines family!).
