Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Harloh: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2021.

Of modern coinage, Harloh is a variant spelling of Harlow, an English surname turned first name derived from Old English *hær* (rock) and *hlaw* (hill), meaning "rocky hill" or "army hill." The most famous bearer is actress Harlow, born in 2011 to pop star Nicole Richie and musician Joel Madden, who brought the name into the spotlight. While no places are directly named after a notable Harloh, the original Harlow is a town in Essex, England. The spelling with an "h" gives the name a softer, more whimsical feel than the original, and it has risen steadily in Scottish birth registrations since 2020, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a stylish surname name.
