Lanning Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
From the town of Lannion in Brittany. The family settled in Cornwall temp. Edw. H. Their estate in that county also bore the name of Lanyon, and their arms are almost identical with those of the French town. As the estate, which lies in the parish of Gwinnear, bore that name previously to their ownership, the coincidence is curious. There are however many other instances of identity in Breton and Cornish local names. See C. S. Gilbert's Cornwall, i. 120. "The Cornish and Armoric dialects," says Dr. Price, "are the most nearly allied in character, orthography, and sound of any two of the British (Celtic) dialects." Ibid. Hals, in Davies Gilbert's Cornwall, ii. 142, says "the first propagators of this family in Cornwall, came with many other French gentlemen into England with Isabella, wife of King Edw. II., and settled themselves in these parts," and adds that they "still give the arms of that town (Lanyon in Brittany) for their paternal coat-armour, viz.: in a field Salle, a castle Argent standing on waves of the sea Azure; over the same a falcon havering with bells.'' Whitaker believes that the town of Lannion bears only a castle for its cognizance, and that the falcon was added on account of similarity of sound to Lanner, the favourite bird in falconry. Mr. D. Gilbert observes, however, that the surname is always in Cornwall pronounced Lanine. Ut sup. 143.
(lan-nine). From Lanyon in Gwinear; from lan-eithin, the furzy enclosure or croft; or lan-yein, the cold enclosure. There is also Lanyon in Madron, and some mention a place named Lanyon in Normandy or Bretagne. Linyon, Lunyon, Lanine, Lanning, and Lanyon may be the same surname. But see also Langon.
(Cornish British) The furzy inclosure.
William Lanone, Normandy 1180-95 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae); Roger and Thomas de Lanun, Engl. c. 1272 (Rotuli Hundredorum).
Lanyon is an old Cornish name of distinction.
The Lanyons of Lanyon, in the parish of Gwinear, a seat which they held as late as last century, are probably one of the oldest families of the name. Their ancestors are said to have come over from Lannion, in Brittany, and to have settled in Cornwall in the reign of Edward II. (G.). It is strange, however, that the Lanyons should have given their name to their estate, when so many Cornish family names can be proved to have been derived from the family estate or from the locality of the family residence. Lanihorne is another old place - name in the county.
