Lachlan

Coming from the Scottish Gaelic and the Irish Gaelic, Lachlan is an ancient name, earlier used for the magnificent Viking invaders of Scotland. The meaning of Lachlan is ‘the one from the land of lakes’, with a synonymous translation from its Scottish origin translating to ‘the one from the fjord land’. Lachlan is derived from its elements ‘loch’, signifying the lakes and fjords, and ‘lann’ stating the land. The name also comes from the Gaelic word ‘laochail’ (meaning ‘like the war’), which in turn derives from laoch (translating to war). Lachlan is a top choice for baby names in Scotland, England, New Zealand and Australia. Fun fact: There is a river by the name Lachlan river that flows in the central New South Wales and joins the Murrumbidgee River near the town of Oxley! This 901 miles long river ran in the area where the indigenous Australian people, the Wiradjuri, resided.
