lowery is Irish in Origin.

Lowery blends English-Scottish and Irish roots. As a surname-based given name, it most commonly stems from Lowry/Lowrie, a medieval pet form of Lawrence (Latin Laurentius), yielding the meaning “laurel-crowned” or “from Laurentum.” In Ireland, some families bear Lowery as an anglicization of Ó Labhraidh, a byname meaning “spokesman” or “orator,” so the name can also carry a rhetorical sense. The surname appears in records across Ulster, Scotland, and northern England, later crossing to North America with migrants.

Used as a given name since the late 19th century, Lowery fits the modern tradition of adopting family surnames as first names and reads as gender-neutral. Spelling and cognate variants include Lowry, Lowrey, Lowrie, Lawry, Lourie, Lawrie, and Laurie; related forms are Lawrence/Laurence and the Welsh feminine Lowri, as well as Laura and Laurel. The dual etymologies offer both arboreal honor and eloquent voice.
