Thurlow, derived from Old English roots, is a rare and distinctive given name. It is believed to have originated from 'Þyrlaug', composed of the elements 'þyr' meaning 'thorn' and 'lagu' meaning 'river'. The name has a unique and somewhat rustic charm, reflecting its rural origins. Thurlow is most commonly found in English-speaking countries, though it's sparsely used, lending an air of exclusivity to those who bear this uncommon moniker.
"Thurlow experienced peak birth years in the early 20th century, with a high of 22 births in 1915. However, there's been a consistent decline since the late 1930s, with most years having fewer than 10 births and several years seeing only 5."
