About Lowdy

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.

Lowdy for girls

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.

Lowdy for boys

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.

Pronounced LOW-dee.
