Gowan River
Te Kauparenui / Gowan River is in the South Island of New Zealand. Its source is at Lake Rotoroa and travels 11 kilometres before feeding into the Buller River. Mixed farming and forestry occurs on both banks of the river. The river has introduced trout which attracts recreational fishing. In 2001 a Water Conservation Order was placed on the river to recognise the value of it in an unmodified state. An application was made by Majac Trust to change the Order so that a hydroelectric electricity scheme could be constructed on the river. This was rejected by the Environment Court in August 2007. In August 2014, the name of the river was officially altered to Te Kauparenui / Gowan River. In 1843, Charles Heaphy named the river after James Robert Gowen James Robert Gowen (1784–1862) was an amateur English botanist and horticulturist, who was secretary of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) from 1845 to 1850, treasurer until 1855, a landowner in the Wairau Valley in 184 ...

River Gowan, Cumbria
The River Gowan is a short river in Cumbria, running easterly through the village of Ings before joining the River Kent at Staveley. Etymology It is difficult to determine where the river got its name. In Scottish English, ''gowan'' the name for the common daisy or occasionally the buttercup. It is derived from the original form ''gollan'' which is the marsh marigold, the name was made famous by Robert Burns in a poem originally entitled ''"The Gowan"'' which is now known as ''" To a Mountain Daisy"''. The Lakeland poet William Wordsworth also uses the word gowan to refer to a common wayside flower indicating that the name was used in the area and therefore it is possible that the river got its name from the fact that it flows through many flower meadows on the valley floor. In Scottish Gaelic ''Gowen/Gowan'' can also mean "''blacksmith''". The name may therefore otherwise have come from the Scots Gaelic or from Irish missionaries who are known to have travelled in C ...

McGowan
McGowan is an Irish and Scottish surname. It is an Anglicization of the Irish Mac Gabhann and Scottish surname ''Mac Gobhann''. Belonging to the Uí Echach Cobo, located in modern-day County Down in the east of Ulster, they produced several over-kings of Ulaid. By the late 12th century, the English had expelled the McGowans to Tír Chonaill (now largely modern-day County Donegal) in the west of Ulster. Meaning As noted further in source by John O'Hart, though not an occupational surname, MacGowan evolves as an Anglicization of the original Gaelic language personal description or nickname ''gobha'', meaning "blacksmith". For this reason, the surnames of some septs of the MacGowan are alternately anglicised to Smythe or Smith. Mac, which may appear in anglicised contraction as Mc, sometimes written Mc or, further, abbreviated M', means in English "son", but, when an element used to form a Gaelic language patronymic in its usage of "They have no share in the promise made ...
