Townes is an uncommon, yet distinctively appealing given name of English origin. It is derived from the Old English word 'tun', which translates to 'enclosure' or 'farm'. The name Townes was popularized by American singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt (1944-1997), known for his profound impact on the musical genre of Americana.
