I have searched high and low for the meaning of the name LANIER. It is used both as a first and last name. Does anyone have a clue about it? THANKS

A Google search of the words "lanier" and "meaning" turned up the following link as the ninth hit:
http://www.lasnier-canada.org/PAGEE/origin.html
Synopsis: Lanier/Lasnier has three possible meanings; wool worker/merchant from Latin and Medieval Latin, falcon from Medieval French or coward/villain (from the falcon that hesitates before striking or catches mice instead of the intended prey)
