perRow

Perrow is a surname of English origin that appears in several Anglophone countries. It is most commonly encountered as a family name rather than a term with its own independent meaning.

Notable individuals with the surname include Charles Perrow, an American sociologist known for his work on organizational risk, complexity, and technology. He is the author of Normal Accidents, a seminal study in risk analysis that examines how accidents arise in tightly coupled, high-risk systems.

Because Perrow is primarily a surname, the term does not have a widely recognized standalone definition in scholarly or technical vocabularies. References to Perrow typically pertain to people who bear the name, rather than to a distinct concept, object, or process. In genealogical and biographical contexts, the surname may appear in records, obituaries, and scholarly citations rather than in general discourse.
