Origin Scottish: Land of lakes, land of lochs; originally a Scottish nickname for someone from Norway. As a masculine name derived from a Medieval Scottish surname meaning “fjord-lands,” from the Old Scottish-Gaelic elements loch “lake, fjord” and lann “enclosure, land.” This was a name adopted among the Scots at a very early date and was originally given as a byname to Viking settlers in Scotland, referring specifically to a “Scandinavian” or one from the “fjord-lands” (carrying with it an added meaning of “stranger”).

Lachlan is a form of Lochlann and is generally pronounced like “LAHK lin” and ” LOK lin”. Lachlan is a Gaelic name used by the Scots to refer to Viking invaders. Lochlann, the original form, translates literally as “from the land of the lochs” referring to Norway, where the invaders were from. This name derives from the Irish Lochlann, meaning “one who dwells at the fjord-land”. This was the Irish term for invaders from Scandinavia. Lochlann is a geographical region in Classical Gaelic literature and in the history of Early Medieval Ireland. In the modern Gaelic and Welsh (Llychlyn) languages it signifies Scandinavia, and more specifically Norway. In Irish Gaelic, the adjectival noun “Lochlannach” (person belonging to Lochlann) has the additional sense of “raider”, specifically, Vikings. This was the Gaeilge name for Scandinavia but was adopted as a personal name. It may have originally been Mac Lochlainne, meaning “son of Scandinavia”. Famous Lachlans: Lachlan Milne – athlete, Lachlan Renshaw – athlete.
