Lowdon is English, Scottish in Origin.

Lowdon is a rare English–Scottish surname adopted as a given name, pronounced LOH-dən. Its roots lie in place-names such as Loudoun in Ayrshire and Lowden/Lowdon in northern England. The Scottish branch likely continues Brittonic Lugudūnon, ‘fort of the god Lugh,’ while the northern English forms are often explained from Old English elements: hlāw ‘mound, barrow’ + denu ‘valley.’ Hence the name carries layered senses ranging from ‘fort of Lugh’ to ‘valley by the burial mound.’

As a given name, Lowdon surfaces in records from the late 19th century in Britain, the United States, and Canada, typically through the surname-to-forename tradition and family honorific use; it remains uncommon today. Established variants and cognates include Lowden, Louden, Loudon, Loudoun, and Loden, with short forms Low or Don. The spelling with w reflects regional pronunciation shifts found in Scots and northern English surnames.
