> [@Lanzy](#): > > Lanzy is my name and I have no idea, anyone? It may be a permutation of Lindsay, which means “island of Linden trees”, and was (is?) the name of a noble family in Scotland. Or it may have come from the last name de Lanzy or de Lanzi, which probably mean “from Lanzy” (or Lanzi), which is a place in Florence. Sorry I can’t be more specific. You have one of the 0.1% of names that baby name books and websites don’t have! ---

El-ahrairah, is that you? Two of my names are of uncertain and often misattributed meaning, but throw in a bit of poetic license and you get this: renowned for the strength and fury of the bear ---

By my married name, I am a Woman of Honor, in a clearing in a wood, near a lake. Hmmm. By my maiden name, I am a Woman of Honor by the sea. I must like the water or something. ---

Firstname: Mother of the Light, Lightbringer First lastname: Wolf from Tinylittletown Second lastname: no idea but it’s pretty common. So, uhm… “Lightbringing Wolf from Tinylittletown who’s a bit confused”? Dunnow, it doesn’t quite have a nice ring to it. ---
