The English surname Lunn, also found in Ireland and Scotland, is derived from the Viking word Lundr meaning “ one who lived by the wood or the grove.” The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ralph de la Lunde, which was dated 1183, in “The Yorkshire Pipe Rolls.” One Henry Lunne is listed in the Register of the University of Oxford in 1581, and Mary Lunn was married to Giles Allington at St. Mary Aldermary in London on the 29th May 1687.
