Meaning & Origin
Woodroe is a boy's baby name of Old English origin, a variant spelling of Woodrow, from the Old English meaning 'row of trees' or 'lane through the forest' — evoking a wooded path or a hedgerow of trees lining a field. The name became widely used as a given name in honor of President Woodrow Wilson.
Woodroe's variant spelling gives the presidential name a slightly more individualized look. Like Woodrow, it carries the naturalistic, pastoral quality of names rooted in the English countryside and the gravitas of one of America's most intellectually significant presidents.
