Winston meets Marlow in this surname-style choice, blending old-fashioned charm and a hint of stuffiness with a bit of modern edge and breeziness too.

Derived from Old English, it likely means "hill belonging to Wine", in whichWine is a given name meaning "friend". The name of a town in England and various places across the US, it has been in use as a masculine name since the 19th century, however, more recent years have seen it climb up the charts for girls.
