Lowelle is English, Norman French in Origin.

Lowelle is a modern feminine elaboration of the English surname-given name Lowell, itself from the Norman French Louvel, meaning “young wolf” or “little wolf” (a diminutive of Old French loup, from Latin lupus). As a surname, Lowell/Lovell came to England with the Normans; as a given name it gained currency in the United States and Britain in the 19th century, buoyed by the visibility of poet-diplomat James Russell Lowell and, later, poet Robert Lowell.

Lowelle appears in American records from the early to mid-20th century, created under the period’s fashion for adding the French-looking -elle/-a endings to tailor surnames for girls. It remains uncommon and has never ranked in the U.S. Top 1000. Close variants include Lowella and Lowell; related surnominal forms are Lovell and Lovelle. Nicknames range from streamlined Lo to Elle/Ellie or the vintage-tinged Wella. Meaning: “young wolf.” Pronunciation: loh-WEL/loh-EL.
