"THAW, THOW. I take these two rare Scots surnames to be the same. James Thaw in Tillyfroskie is recorded in 1789 (Aberdeen CR.). I can offer no explanation of the name. The English name Thew is explained as Middle English theow, servant, bondsman. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
