Language help? 16-17th century

[Cjennmom]

Help!  I'm looking to find out what a name is from my family tree.  I'm not sure if the origin is Gaelic or simply old Scotch, and spelling in those days wasn't a sure thing, a lot of phonetics abounded.  The name is Lawchwarit and it was the maiden name of my 11th gr grandmother who appears to have been born in Berwickshire.  I had a mini epiphany lately that perhaps Lawch might have been Loch but I'm still stuck on the warit part.  It would also be nice to know what the name might have become with the advent of regular spelling.  If specifics are needed, my ancestress was Janet Lawchwarit, b. ~1612, and she ended up married to Patrik Geillies (Gillies).  TIA!

I think it may be an idea to post an image with some extra script for comparison for us to see as it doesn't look like a surname, rather a place name?
What is the doc, where did you get it & where was the marriage?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but I don't have a doc.  This was an online record of baptism of her son Thomas (b. 1632) in Dunse, Berwickshire from ancestry.com.  Thomas himself was married by the early 1650's to a Janet Alline who had originated in Loth, Sutherland and their son William was born in Dunse in early 1653.  I'm just really stumped by 'Lawchwarit' since it's so different to anything I've seen or heard before.

It may be worth getting the original from SP to actually see it as it may be mistranscribed or show something different to a surname?

Unless, could she have been of foreign descent?

Costs are a factor.  Even my cousin, another amateur genealogist who actually lives in Scotland, makes due with the extracts because of cost.

"makes due with the extracts because of cost"

I think you mean transcriptions which are not extracts as extracts are docs. from the original Register of BMDs.
