Łan
Łan (pronounced one; in
English lan; in
Latin laneus, in
German Lahn), in
Polish means "field," and is a unit of land measurement used in Poland. Since the 13th century, its value has varied from one location to another. A
Franconian łan consisted of 43.2 morgs = 23 to 28
hectares. The term łan was also used to indicate a full-sized farm, as opposed to one split up into a number of smaller sections. In
medieval times its value was anywhere between 3 and 50 hectares, but from the 13th century to
1857 in Great
Lesser Poland (with
Podkarpacie), the Franconian Łan was consistently used.
