It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like lace are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name lace include Lacey, Lacy, Lassey, Lassy, de Lacey, de Lacy and others.

First found in Yorkshire, where Ibert de Lacy was granted the castle and town of Pontefract by William the Conqueror. There were at least two listings of the name in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379: Robertus Lascey; and Isabella Lassy. [1]

Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name lace, or a variant listed above:

lace Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • Inv Lace, who landed in Virginia in 1656

lace Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century


  • Francis Lace, who arrived in Virginia in 1701
