Re: Hey, Faerie :)
Hey Meredith! I had a hunch it was French (the Le/La part) but I kept thinking it might be connected to Noir, and meaning something like The Black.What does Lanois mean? Any idea?

Not a clue...Try Noms de Famille et prenoms etc (or something like that) by Albert Dauzat...It covers most French surnames and possibly a couple of first names as well. I ought to get a copy but I'm too lazy. I suppose I should check Amazon for it....
If I get the afternoon in the Welsh National Library that I've been after, I'll look it up for you :)
