Family name origins & meanings

  • English (Suffolk) : unexplained. This appears to be a variant of Lafflin, which Reaney and Wilson believe to be of Irish origin (see 2), but the high concentration of the modern name in Suffolk suggests that a different source is probably involved.
  • Respelling of Irish Laughlin.
