Lalor

Lalor

"Lalor" is an Irish surname derived from the Gaelic "O Leathlobhair", meaning Half Leper. This is also the origin or the other variations in spelling of the name, Lawlor and Lawler. It is most commonly found around the midlands of Ireland especially County Laois, being one of the Seven Septs (Clans) of Leix (O'Lalors, O'Moores, O'Dowlings, O'Dorans, O'Devoys, O'Kellys, and McEvoys). It is not, as some people have claimed, of Norse origin. It can also refer to:

* Peter Lalor, the leader of the Eureka Stockade rebellion, or the areas named after him::* Lalor, Victoria, an outer suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia:* Division of Lalor, an electoral district in the Australian House of Representatives in Victoria, Australia
