Lentsch: Last Name and Heraldic Notes

Sharing the Lentsch name is not the same as sharing a crest; arms were granted to individual families.

Meaning of the name

Lentsch began as a German family name. Smith's 1956 dictionary gives the meaning “descendant of little Lanzo, a pet form of Lando (land)”.

Like many surnames, it grew out of a personal name. In the 2010 US Census, 601 Americans gave Lentsch as their last name (rank 37,125). That is enough to place it in the top 50,000 American surnames.
