 England
The present generation of the Lasman family is only the most recent to bear a name that dates back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Their name comes from having 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 Lasman familyThe surname Lasman 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 Lasman familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Lasman research.

Lasman Spelling VariationsUntil the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Lasman include Lasham, Lassham, Lassam, Lascham, Lashem, Lashom, Laschem and many more.

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Lasman were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records:
