Origin: British

Meaning: Thor's hill

As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child, and your little Thurlow honors that legacy like no other. This boy's name comes straight from the British hamlets of Great Thurlow and Little Thurlow in Suffolk. Thurlow was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 as a habitational surname of the Suffolk area. Meaning "Thor's hill," Thurlow comes from the Old English hlāw, translating to "mound hill." As far as Medieval British village names are concerned, you can be sure that your little Thurlow will always appreciate the more homely aspects of life.
