Haveloch is in Origin.

Haveloch is a rare medieval English male name best known from the Middle English romance Havelok the Dane (c. 13th century), where it names an exiled Danish prince restored to his throne. Contemporary and later spellings vary widely - Haveloch, Havelok, Haveloc, and Havelock - the last of which also became an English surname and occasional given name, popularized in the 19th century by General Sir Henry Havelock and the “Havelock” sun-guard cap named after him.

Its linguistic origin is uncertain but generally traced to Old Norse via the Danelaw. Etymologies proposed include haf “sea” + leikr “play, sport,” yielding a sense of “sea-farer/one at sea,” or a diminutive in -ok/-oc from a Germanic personal name with battle elements (Had-). Because the medieval sources fluctuate in spelling, no single meaning prevails. Modern variants: Havelok, Havelock; feminine or nickname forms are uncommon.
