Meaning and background

The story behind Lake

Lake is a familiar English nature word for a considerable inland body of water. It has also been used as a personal or family name, but the most directly verifiable sense here is the landscape feature. This is a one-syllable name whose imagery comes from ordinary English vocabulary, not from a romanticised translation in another language.
