In Christianity, the name Beau is popular among English speakers and is associated with the French origin meaning 'beautiful' or 'handsome.' Its English variation, Bow, was traditionally given to male infants as a nickname for Robert or Rowland, which indeed means 'bright and renowned' or 'red and famous,' respectively. However, modern usage has evolved to the extent that 'Beau' is taken as a standalone given name and doesn't require any particular connection to Robert or Rowland.
