Lowree is English, Irish in Origin.

Lowree is a modern respelling of the Scottish and Irish surname Lowry/Lowrie, itself a vernacular pet form of Lawrence or Laurence, from Latin Laurentius. The Latin name refers to a person from Laurentum and came to signify laurel-crowned, invoking the bay laurel used for triumph and honor in classical antiquity.

As a given name, Lowree follows the long British and American custom of adopting family surnames for children. Lowrie and Lowry appear in Scottish parish records from the 1500s as diminutives of Laurence and later settled as hereditary surnames, especially among Ulster Scots and in northern England; bearers carried the name to North America. Lowree remains rare and reads as a distinctive, gently antique choice with unisex potential. Close variants include Lowry, Lowrie, Lowrey, and Lowery; related given-name forms are Laurie and Lawrie. Names sharing the same Latin root include Lawrence, Laurence, Lauren, Laurel, and Laura.
