Lowdy Origin and Meaning

The name Lowdy is a boy's name meaning "beloved day".

Lowdy is a variation of Loveday, a name given to babies in medieval England who were born on days when adversaries would come together to resolve their conflicts amicably. Loveday continued to be used in Cornwall long after it died out in the rest of England and is considered a traditional Cornish name despite its Anglo-Saxon roots.

Lowdy and Loveday are still seen, though rarely, in Cornwall today. Both are more common among baby girls.
