Lochlon is Gaelic in Origin.

Lochlon is a contemporary spelling of the Gaelic name Lachlan/Lochlan, derived from Scottish Gaelic Lachlann (Irish: Lochlann). The elements are loch “lake, sea inlet” and lann “land,” while in early Irish texts Lochlann referred to Scandinavia. The meaning is often given as “from the land of lakes” or “Scandinavian, Norseman,” evoking rugged coasts and highland waters.

The personal name Lachlann was borne in medieval Scotland and Ireland and survives in clan history (notably MacLachlan); it also underlies the surname Ó Lochlainn, anglicized O’Loughlin. As a given name, Lachlan experienced a modern revival - hugely popular in Australia and New Zealand from the late 20th century and increasingly seen in Canada, the UK, and the United States. Related forms include Lachlan, Lochlan, Lochlann, Laughlin, and Loughlin; nicknames include Lach, Lock, and Lockie. Lochlon preserves the traditional sound with a sleek modern twist.
