Lansing (name)


Lansing is a Dutch patronymic surname from the personal name Lans. The "-ing" or "-ink" suffix originally was patronymic, but later also became indicative of a place. Lansing is now a rare name in the Netherlands, but there are many descendants in the United States of Gerrit Gerritse Lansing, a baker in Hasselt, Overijssel, whose widow and children migrated to New Netherland in 1654. At a later time there the surname became used as a middle name and given name. Notable people with the name include:
