My grandfather's name is Lenois, and since it is fairly common around here where I liev (West TN) I was certain it'd be easy to research but no, it's not. I have been told it is a variant spelling of Lanois, which is supposedly a French surname. I already had that in mind re: the Le-/La- prefix. However, from what I have learned in French, and after scouring my French dictionary, I cannot find 'la nois' but I did find the following:la noisette meaning hazelnut la noix meaning nutIs it related to these?
