Hello List, I think "Lanty" is a diminutive. But of what name? Can anyone help, please? Regards, Julie

Julie, I have seen Lanty as a nickname for Lancelot. However, I have seen Lanty quite a few times but never an actual Lancelot in any records. There are some Ryans in central Co. Tipperary that used Lanty as their family nickname.

Hi Julie, I went back into the main line Ryan genealogies for the 1500's and 1600's and a good deal of the 1700's and Lancelot or Lanty or anything like it does not appear, so it appears to be a name of probably the 1800's. In the 1800's the Ryan-Lanty's appear to be from "Drumbawn", "Turraheen", Clogher, Carrow, Donohill and Knocknakill. Maybe Pete can toake a look at the maps and see how these townlands might connect up.
