From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur

Or De St. Laudo. The immediate ancestry of Archbishop Laud has not been as yet ascertained. His father, William Laud, a cloth manufacturer at Reading, who d. 1594, was in ample circumstances. He was born at Wokingham, Berks, to which place the Archbishop was a benefactor (Lysons, Berks). The family of Laud was also seated at this time at Tiverton, Devon, the great seat of the cloth manufacture, where John Laud occurs t. Eliz. (Chanc. Proceedings, t. Eliz.). The name is evidently an abbreviation of St. Laud, or St. Lo, and the arms of Laud (a chevron between three mullets) bear relation to those of St. Lo; a chevron between three spear heads; or perpale; three cinquefoils; or two bars, in chief three mullets. The family was probably a remote and early branch of St. Laud. St. Laud, or St. Lo, was near Coutances, Normandy; and was a barony. Simon de St. Laud, who had grants at the Conquest, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Mortaine, in favour of Keynsham Abbey (Mon. ii. 299). The widow of Geoffry de St. Laud held from the Bishop at Winchester 1148 (Winton Domesday). Adam de St. Laud was Viscount of Lincoln 1278, and Ralph de St. L. 1329. Thomas de St. Laud, 1297-1300, was returned as holding estates in Notts and Lincoln. The principal branch was seated at Newton St. Laud, or St. Lo, Somerset, where it flourished till c. 1400, when the heiress m. Lord Botreaux. The male line continued in Sir John St. Lo, Constable of Bristol Castle, t. Henry VI.; and in the St. Los of Dorset. Younger branches also continued to possess considerable estates in Somerset (Collinson, Somerset, iii. 342, &c.). Leland, t. Henry VIII., mentions a Sir John St. Lo then living (Itin. vii. 97). The St. Los of Dorset came from Somerset (Hutchings’s Dorset, iii. 354). See Lowe.
