Lockwood
l(o)-ck-wood
US Popularity:22887
Origin:British
Meaning:Enclosed wood
The title given to the narrator of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Lockwood will suit an observant, creative, and imaginative little one. Though Brontë's character carried it as a last name, Lockwood makes a lovely first name choice, with nicknames like Locky and Woody slipping off the tongue. Deriving from the Old English words loc, meaning "enclosure," and wudu, meaning "wood," Lockwood means "enclosed wood," sketching a scene of a hidden forest that lies far from the world beyond. As your Lockwood grows, they may begin to create imagined worlds of their own, perhaps one where the wood is home to a myriad of magical creatures.
