(English) = Lane1 (q.v.) + the English agential suff. -er. (Anglo-French-Latin) 1 Wool-Stapler, Wool- Comber [Fr, lainier; from laine, Latin lana, wool] 2 a nickname from the Falcon so called [Middle English laner, Old French lanier; Latin laniarium, ‘that tears’; from lanio, to tear]
From residence in a lane. See ER. Le Laner. H.R.
From Laner or Lanher in St. Allen, which Hals renders "tempter." He says, "At the time of the Norman Conquest this district of St. Allen was taxed under the jurisdiction of Laner or Lanher, i. e. tempter; so called for that long before that time was extant upon that place a chapel or temple dedicated to God in the name of St. Martin of Tours, the memory of which is still preserved in the names of St. Martin's fields and woods, heretofore perhaps the endowments of that chapel or temple, &c. &c." But as Lanher, according to Hals, was formerly a wood, may not the name be derived from lanherch, a forest, a grove? Indeed Pryce writes the name Lannar, and suggests that it may be so derived. There is Lannarth in Gwennap, Lanner in Kea, and Laneer in Lansalloes. Laner Castle occurs in William of Worcester's Itinerary, and D. Gilbert mentions one Lannar (q. v. ) who was connected with the Chynoweth family. See D. Gilbert, 111,125.
Laner: a dealer in wool - lain.
