Belgian noble family From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The House of Lannoy is the name of an old and important Belgian noble family that takes its name from the town of Lannoy in northern France. The name comes from l'Annoy (or l'Annoit, from Latin alnetum), which means 'the alderwood' in Picard French of Flanders.

The oldest known ancestor is Gillion de l'Annoit, who lived in the 13th century. Many of his descendants were members of the Order of the Golden Fleece. They played a prominent role in Flanders during the Middle Ages. Different family branches and lines existed amongst the Lords of Beaurepaire, Clervaux, Princes of Sulmona and Princes of Rheina-Wolbeck.
One branch of the family supposedly became the influential American Delano family through its progenitor, Philip Delano. However, the possible connection between the two has never been proven. A branch of the family supposedly engaged in the transatlantic slave trade, resulting in an existing lineage of the family in South America and the Caribbean.
