Meaning of name Bowie is: Yellow; fair-haired

James Alan Bowie says: "Bowie" is an anglicised version of the Scots Gaelic word "buie" meaning yellow or fair haired. As the family originated in the Western Isles of Scotland this would point to a Norse origin as Norsemen regularly marauded the west coast of Scotland so the Buies could originally be settlers or shipwrecked families. There is a mountain Ben Buie, a Loch Buie and a village called Lochbuie at the south end of Mull in the Inner Hebrides. Pronunciation in Scotland is "Bowie" as in "curtsy".
