Lowdy is a friendly variation of the traditional Cornish name Loveday. In medieval England, a loveday was when adversaries would meet to settle their dispute peacefully. Babies born during such days were sometimes dubbed Loveday in honor.
 
Loveday is considered a traditional Cornish name — even though its etymological roots are English — because historically use has been relegated to Cornwall. Lowdy, however, is completely Cornish, originating as a more casual form of the name. Lowdy is seen as a nickname for Loveday and as a name in its own right.
 
Loveday and Lowdy are technically unisex but are more common among baby girls.
