This surname is derived from the district of Lennox which, in earlier times, embraced the County of Dumbarton and part of the counties of Stirling, Renfrew and Perth. The Lennox tartan is regarded as a district tartan. Lord Darnley, husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, bore the title of Earl of Lennox.
