Le Ny
Hi,
Does anyone know what the French surname Le Ny means? I know le means "the" and wiktionary tells me ny is Middle French and means "neither, nor" or "not there". One source tells me it's a Breton name. Not really sure what the meaning is. Anyone have any ideas?

Le Ny is a combination of French le 'the' and Middle Breton ny 'nephew' (see tinyurl.com/ycfdr5ye).
Thanks :)
