If you're talking actual meaning, here's what I found:
Origin- English
Boy/Girl- Boy
Meaning- From the wether sheep farm
And here's a more detailed one:
Witherbee, -- Arms -- Norfolk. Vert, a chev. erm between three rams pass, ar, attired or. (A field of green with chevron of ermine between three rams walking, silver or white, attired in gold), The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. -- Sir Bernard Burke, London, 1884
At the College of Arms - London, the Witherbee coat of arms (so spelled and recorded) was granted in the time of Edward IV (1461-1483). They said there was no motto, or ermine, or ram on top of the shield, at that time.
Robert and Elizabeth Wetherby were Lord and Lady of the Manor of Great Moulton in Norfolk circa 1556. He was condemned to be burned for his faith by Mary (Bloody Mary). Three days before his execution date, she died (17 November 155 cool and Elizabeth came to the throne. Elizabeth restored his estates, conferred the royal ermine on his arms, and gave him the family motto, Tenex-Et-Fide (Steadfast In Faith), the much valued heritage of his descendants.
About the Surname:The surname is spelled over 80 different ways including Weatherby, Weatherbee, Weatherbe, Weatherbey, Weatherbie, Weathersbee, Wetherby, Wetherbee, Wetherbe, Weterbee, Wheatherbee, Witherbee. The Witherbee patronymic is of ancient English origin, and is traced to the Norwegian and Danish conquests of the present kingdom. This is shown by the name itself, which is a territorial one, indicating the establishment of the family and the calling after it of Wetherby, a well known and picturesque market town in the county of Yorkshire, situated between York and Leeds. It was called Wedderby by the Saxons. The first part of the surname, wether (sheep) are on the coat of arms. The final syllable being the Danish equivalent of the English town, or the Norman-French ville.

Crouch calling Percy "Weatherby" was supposed to be a clue that he had been Imperiused - but because Percy is such a nobody at the ministry already (despite being Crouch's personal aide), everyone just thought Crouch didn't know Percy's name.

That's the scene where he's fighting the Imperius curse and starting to beat it, but you don't learn he was actually imperiused until the end where Dumbledore gives Crouch Jr. the veritaserum and he confesses everything.

There is no meaning, as it was previously stated in this thread by Kermi, It was meant to suggest the use of the Imperius curse, and, because his last name is Weasley, it makes it appear as though Crouch didn't know his name, seeing as Percy obviously wasn't well known.

It was a hint of the Imperius curse?? eek Um, I'm not too sure about that...after all, he messed up Percy's name at the Quidditch World Cup BEFORE his son was freed, wasn't he? I've always thought of it as the same thing as Slughorn's problem with Ron's name...the person just isn't considered "important" enough....
