COWAN Family Tree
with links to British India
Cowan is a common Scotch surname in Ayrshire, Dumfriesshire, and other Lowland areas. Some have declared that the surname derives from the Scoth cowan, a dry-stone-diker. Others believe it may be a corruption of Colquhoun, the common pronunciation of which is Cohoon. The name is not in records before the middle of the Sixteenth Century.(Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges, A Dictionary of Surnames, (Oxford University Press: Oxford, 1988), op cit., 28, George F. Black, The Surnames of Scotland: Their Origin, Meaning, and History, (New York: The New York Public Library, 1946), 648.)
