Lithgow Family History
Lithgow Name Meaning
Scottish: habitational name from Linlithgow, between Edinburgh and
Falkirk, which was probably named with British words related to modern
Welsh llyn ‘lake’, ‘pool’ + llaith ‘damp’ + cau
‘hollow’. In the 13th and 14th centuries the name appears both with
and without the first syllable. Originally, Lithgow was the name of
the settlement and Linlithgow that of the lake. Lithgow was associated
by folk etymology with Gaelic liath ‘gray’ + cu ‘dog’,
and such a figure appears on the medieval borough seal.
