Lanier Genealogy & History
Lanier is an English, French, and Dutch surname, derived from the Old French word laine, which means wool; thus originally Lanier was an occupational name for someone who worked in the wool trade, specifically as a maker of wool cloth. English Lanier family history dates to feudal times in Huntingdonshire, where the family owned an estate. Lanier genealogy includes the spelling variations of Laneir, Lanyer, Layner, and Leyner, and the first variant in the New World was Temperance Laner in Virginia in 1652, followed by John Lanier in 1657. Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Tennessee Williams' birth name was Thomas Lanier.
