Marlow, of Germanic origin, translates to 'driftwood' or 'from the boundary wood'. It gained prominence through author Joseph Conrad's character Charles Marlow in 'Heart of Darkness' and 'Chance', adding a touch of literary flair to its bearer.
"Marlow has seen a significant increase in births over time, with only 5 births annually recorded up until the late 1970s. However, there was a notable rise from 26 births in 2008 to a peak of 164 births in 2023, marking a substantial growth in population over the past decade."
