 England
The name Lashar is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived in the village Lasham, in Hampshire which was the site of an old stretch of King's Land called Lascham Wood. Early Origins of the Lashar familyThe surname Lashar was first found in Hampshire at Lasham, a small village and civil parish in the East Hampshire district that dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 where it was recorded at Esseham. 1 Literally, the place name means "smaller homestead, or homestead of a man called Leassa," from the Old English "laessa" + "ham." 2 Early History of the Lashar familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Lashar research.

Migration of the Lashar familyThousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Lashars to arrive in North America: Ann Lassam, who sailed to America in 1771.
