Lane

The surname lane was first found in Brescia (Latin: Brixia) in Lomardy, capital of the province of Brescia. From Irish Ó Luain meaning "descendant of Luan", a given name meaning "warrior". The Lane Families (Ui Liathain, Lehane, McLane, Lain, Layne) are first and foremost the Seneschals of the Royal Tribes of Lyonesse , Ys, and Armorique and may be referenced through those Arms. The early Lanes to the American colonies were Loyalists, some even returning to their perspective lands and "Knighted" for their services to the Crown of England.  Many of their Nobles are represented here including Lord Anthony, Barony of Hylehan.
