Lowes is English in Origin.

Lowes is an English and Scottish surname-turned-given name. Its core etymology traces to Middle English lowe, from Old English hlāw meaning “hill; burial mound,” with the -s ending marking “of the lowe” or a patronymic. In Scots, lowe means “flame,” from Old Norse logi, giving an alternate sense “blaze.” Another stream comes from medieval Lowis, an English form of Louis/Lewis (from Germanic Hludwig “famous warrior”). Thus Lowes can signify “hill/mound,” “flame,” or “famous warrior.”

Recorded as a surname in northern England and the Borders by the 13th–15th centuries, Lowes has only recently seen modest use as a first name in the Anglosphere, fitting the contemporary preference for sleek, one-syllable, surname-style choices. Variants and cognates include Lowe, Low, Lowis, Lowse, and the related given names Lewis and Louis; diminutives Lowie and Lo also occur. Usage is unisex but rare, lending the name a quiet, distinctive profile.
