Meaning: Fortress at the bend; Muddy hill
Dunlop as a boy's name is of Scottish and ancient Gaelic origin. It means "fortress at the bend," thanks to its two parts of dun meaning "fort" or "stronghold," and lop which is a variation of laib or lub, meaning "winding" or "bending." This name does occasionally crop up with a definition of "muddy hill" which likely comes all the way from Dunlop Hill itself. Give baby the strength of ancient Celtic strongholds every day with the name Dunlop.
