Historical Context
Krue is best known as a surname and has only limited recorded history as a traditional given name. In present-day English-speaking use, it appears to be a modern form associated with Crew, a word name referring to a group who work or travel together. The spelling may also occur in family names of varied European background, so it is not possible to attach one secure surname meaning to every use of Krue as a first name.
