Winslow Origin and Meaning

The name Winslow is a boy's name of English origin meaning "friend's hill".

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. Borne by the distinguished American landscape painter Winslow Homer, it could make a creative and unexpected choice, though some may be put off by the 'slow' ending.

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. Around 50 boys were called Winslow in the latest count, while 150 girls were given the name.
