This is one of the numerous instances occurring in our family nomenclature of a name's ' not meaning what it says.' As we have many surnames derived from the vegetable kingdom, this might well be associated with the well-known garden herb; but it comes from an entirely different source. The obsolete French word lavandier, a washer-man, is its real parent; and as lavanderie, wash-house, has become laundry, so has this surname become further corrupted to Launder and Lander.
A laundress; Lavandière, French, one who washes, from the Latin, lavo, to wash.
(found Levander). From French lavandier, a washerman (L. lavo, to wash). Hence the Old English word launder, a washer, and the surname Launder.
