Meaning & Origin

Arlowe is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old English origin, a feminine variant of Arlo or Harlow — the latter meaning 'rock hill' from Old English hær (rock) and hlāw (hill). The -owe ending gives it a flowing, distinctly feminine character while the Ar- opening keeps it rooted in its Anglo-Saxon heritage.

Arlowe has the artsy, slightly vintage cool of celebrity baby names — Nicole Richie named her daughter Harlow, and Arlowe is the same aesthetic territory with its own individual stamp.
