Irish families of the Lowry, Lowery, or Lavery name descend from the O Labhradha, a sept of the province of Ulster anciently. In the later days they are found in County Down near Moira.
Three branches of the name are of record. that of Trin-Lavery (which has also been translated as Armstrong - from trean - meaning strong), that of Roe-Lavery, from rua meaning red, and from Baun-Lavery, from "ban" meaning white.
These Irish families above have remained in the province of Ulster into modern times for they are found in counties Armagh, Antrim, and Down in the 1890 birth index. Laverty was located mainly in Ulster as well at that time.
The "Lowry" surname is also found in Ulster as a result of 17th century settlers arriving there from Scotland. Scottish families are found here under spellings such as Lowrey, Lawrey, Lawry, and Laurie as well. The Earl Belmore's family (Lowry-Corry) is recorded as arriving from Scotland at the time and settling in County Tyrone; they were of the Laurie family of Maxwelton.
