Harlow

Harlow is a traditional English name. It takes its meaning from the Old English words ‘hoer’, which means a big pile of stones and rocks and ‘hlaw’ which translates to ‘a hill’. The first part of the name Harlow can also be considered as ‘here’, which means ‘army’ or ‘a group of people’. Therefore, the meaning of Harlow has historically been ‘a dweller of a crowded hill’ or ‘a dweller of a rock hill’. An alternative translation come from the first part of the name, taken from the word 'hare', so it can also be considered to mean ‘a meadow of hares' or a 'hill of hares’. The name grew in popularity in the 1930s, because of the widely-popular American actress Jean Harlow. Another popular Harlow is Shalom Harlow, a Canadian supermodel and actress, who appeared on six vogue covers. Harlow can be used as a name for either a boy or a girl.
