Facts About
Howie
Howie is a locational surname coming from ‘the Lands of How’, an old medieval estate in Scotland that has now been lost. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. The suffixed ‘ie’ was often added to a name in Scotland as a term of endearment, and so the original bearer of the surname is likely to have been young. |
