Late Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'at the lathe' or 'barn' (v. Lade); compare Leathes.

Thomas atte Lathe, Close Rolls, 16 Richard II.

Sibota at Layte, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.

A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

Probably a sobriquet given on account of want of punctuality. Its opposite, Early, is also a surname, but that is otherwise accounted for, both in the body of this Dictionary, and in the Appendix.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

From Laity in Lelant; from lait-ty, the dairy or milk-house. Hence perhaps the names Leuty, Lait, and Late. Laity is found as a French name.

Patronymica Cornu-Britannica (1870) by Richard Stephen Charnock

Same as Laity; from Laity, in Leland, Cornwall; from lait-ty, the milk-house or dairy. Hence, doubtless, Leuty. Laity is however a French name.

Ludus Patronymicus (1868) by Richard Stephen Charnock

The Laitys, who are numerous in the district of Marazion, evidently derive their name from Laity, a part of Wendron parish Christopher Lander held Higher Pengelly, Blisland, in 1758 (M.). The Landers, well known as African explorers in the early part of this century, were born at Truro of humble parentage.
