Lowrey

Lowrey is of Scottish origin, with two potential meanings. The first could be a patronymic surname meaning "son of Lawrence;" the second being based on the Scottish word lowrie meaning "foxy," having the crafty look of a fox.

It can be traced back to the late 1600's in Dumfriesshire, Scotland.
