Meaning & History
From the name of a Scottish loch, from Scots Gaelic #Loch an barr# meaning "loch on the hilltop". The place gave its name to several aristocratic titles including Baron of Lochinvar and Laird of Lochinvar, and in this capacity the name was used by Walter Scott for the character of #young Lochinvar# in his epic poem 'Marmion' (1808).
