Laussy is my (Fabrice) family name.
I take it from my father (who himself took it from his) that the name might originate from lou tchi (the dog, le chien in French). I've also heard from somebody else it was coming from la lause, a type of flagstone used for roofing in Cantal, where I have my family roots (from my father's side).
The name is quite rare but, when not related to me directly (or my direct family), still pops up once in a while. Here I collect the occurrences where I met it.
There is a maison Laussy in the Yvelines [1]. When my father was a child, his father inherited a property near Paris from a distant relative who had no direct successor. The house being too far from Cantal, he got it sold without even going there. Maybe this is this one? I have never heard the house was bearing our name! Only that it had been sold badly well below its price. My grandfather didn't like to be annoyed, not even by good fortune.
There is a shop of leather confection/retailing in Gijón (Asturias) called piel Laussy [2].
There is a show building called le Laussy in Gières [3][4].
There is something called Laussy somewhere at 227m of altitude [5].
