Harlow
Meaning of Harlow
Rooted in Old English and linked to the meanings “rocky hill” and “army hill,” Harlow leaped from surname to given name with the brisk glamour of a headline lead. The platinum aura of 1930s film icon Jean Harlow still hovers, yet the name’s modern narrative speaks to data: fewer than ten U.S. girls received it in 2002, but more than a thousand wore it by 2024, propelling it into today’s Top 300. Pronounced “HAHR-loh,” its clean, two-syllable rhythm slips easily into both English and Spanish conversation, gifting it an inclusive, pan-American sabor. Add in its unisex, surname-style edge, and Harlow stands as a compact choice that blends vintage sheen with contemporary confianza.
