Large
Large is an English surname, with rare variants including Lardge, Lurge, and Larg. The meaning of the English surname Large is unclear, though it may derive from the Norman French adjective, large, meaning generous, as it is found as the surname 'le Large' in English records dating back as far as the 13th century. The form 'de Large' appears to be continental European rather than English in origin.
