The alloway Surname

alloway Name Meaning and History

  1. English: from the Middle English personal name Ailwi, which represents a falling together of several Old English names: Æ{dh}elwig ‘noble battle’, Ealdwig ‘ancient battle’, and Ælfwiig ‘elf battle’. Compare Alvey. Alloway is a Scottish place name, but the surname is of English rather than Scottish origin.
  2. Americanized form of any of several French surnames, including Allouis (from a place in Meung-sur-Yèvre), Halloy (from any of various places in Oise, Pas-de-Calais, and Somme), or Allouet (a diminutive of Allou or Alleu, which was a status name for a free tenant, one not bound by feudal dues).
