Lockie
Boy name · 68 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lockie: 68 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 15 births in 2023.
Lockie is a spirited Scottish diminutive of Lachlan, which itself comes from the Gaelic *Lochlann*, meaning "land of the lochs" or "from the fjord-land"—a term the Gaels historically used for Scandinavia. The most famous bearer is the fictional Lockie Leonard, the lovably awkward teenage protagonist of Tim Winton’s humorous Australian book and TV series. There’s also a strong geography link: the name shares a root with Loch Lomond and countless other Scottish lochs, though no major places are named directly for a Lockie. Notably, the name gained a surprising modern boost through the character Lockie Campbell in the popular TV drama *Outlander*, which has helped it feel both rugged and fresh for a new generation of Scottish parents.
