Well, if you're talking sweeping, then a pair is as small as it gets (2 people, one oar each). To get bigger, there are fours (four people, one oar each) and eights (eight people, one oar each)
But it you're sculling, then you can have a single (one person, two oars), a double (two people, two oars each), or a quad (four people, two oars each).

What country does the word dinghy come from?
The origin of the word dinghy is beyond dispute. It is well documented that it comes from the Hindi or Bengali word dingi or dengi, which means a native rowing boat used on Indian rivers. Modern English dictionaries define it as 'a small boat propelled by oars, sail or motor.' Older dictionaries as 'a small extra boat in a man-of-war or a small pleasure rowing boat'; also allowing the alternative spellings, dingey or dingy.
