Both Lowrie and Lawrie are Scot. nicknames for the fox or for supp. foxlike persons.

Oxon, Glouc., and Essex. But see Lowrie. Some Lowrys claim descent from the Scottish family of Laurie, of Maxwelton, near Dumfries, whose name was variously written Laurie, Lawrey, Lawry, Lowry, Lowrey, and Lowray. B.L.G.
Signifies in Scotch a crafty person, or one who lowers, that is, contracts his brow; hence a "lowry day"—cloudy.
