Meaning & Origins
Old French form of the Germanic personal name Lanzo, a short form of various compound names beginning with land ‘land, territory’ (compare Lambert), but associated from an early date with Old French lance ‘lance’ (the weapon, from Latin lancea). The modern use as a given name most probably arose as a transferred use of the surname derived from the medieval given name, although it is also commonly taken as a short form of Lancelot.

English and Scottish: occupational name for a tailor, from Old French tailleur (Late Latin taliator, from taliare ‘to cut’). The surname is extremely common in Britain and Ireland, and its numbers have been swelled by its adoption as an Americanized form of the numerous equivalent European names, most of which are also very common among Ashkenazic Jews, for example Schneider, Szabó, and Portnov.
