Warlow Family History

From Middle English warlou, warlok, werlok, warlau, warlagh, and warlach, the meanings include ‘traitor’, ‘devil’, ‘reprobate’, and ‘sorcerer’ or ‘witch’. This lineage can be traced back to Old English wǣrloga, which perhaps was influenced in some forms by Old Scandinavian *varðlokka, the singular of varðlokkur, meaning ‘incantations’.

Alternatively, in England, it may sometimes be a late variant of the name Worley. This connection shows how names evolve over time and can have multiple origins or influences.
