Origin: Irish
Meaning: land of the lakes
The land of saints and scholars has many interesting names with a deep history to choose from. Lochlan is one of these Irish names, and it means “land of the lakes.” Lochlan originates from the Viking tribes that made their way to Ireland centuries ago and stuck around to give this name some serious roots. Traditionally, Lochlan was a name given to boys with fair or red hair as a tribute to their Viking roots. But no matter the color of baby’s hair, this name is meant for your fierce little Viking on their way.
