Glennwood is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of American origin. It is composed of two elements: 'Glen', which means valley, and 'Wood', referring to trees or forest. Thus, the name translates to 'Valley of Trees'. Glennwood was more popular in the mid-20th century but remains a unique choice today.
The name Glennwood experienced a gap of 16 years between the first two recorded births in 1919 and 1935, followed by another 19-year gap until the next birth in 1954. There were then two more births within three years, one in 1957, totalling 20 births overall.
