Etymology of Lowenthal

What does the name Lowenthal mean?

The name Lowenthal comes from the German word "Loew," which means 'lion'. The name may have been ornamental, or perhaps a nickname for a brave or regal person. Another source for this Jewish name may be from a translation of the Yiddish male given "Leyb," which is the "Kinnui," or "byname" for Judah, in which case Lowenthal is a patronymic surname. It has also been suggested that Lowe may be at times, a transformation of Levi.
