There is a ''maison Laussy'' in the Yvelines [http://www.habitants.fr/habitants_medan_78384.html]. 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, and remained poor all his life. | There is a ''maison Laussy'' in the Yvelines [http://www.habitants.fr/habitants_medan_78384.html].

Laussy is my (Fabrice) family name.
I take it from my father (who himself took it from his) that the name might originate from the Patois 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).
洛熙 is my Chinese name, as given to me by Xi Xin in June (2012), who writes it like this: .
It is pronounced roughly as luò (洛) xī (熙) (see 洛熙 in another website or hear it directly from the source).
The name is rare but it 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, and remained poor all his life.
There once was a Laussy Édition, as testified by this nice picture of Chaussenac (Cantal) bearing the name Laussy, édit. on the bottom left [2]. It dates from 1932 and used some technique of the time for the colorization of the sky. It was done with mixed success with some misalignment. It is still a very nice shot, with the local shops and children pausing in the street.

Although the name is extremely rare, there are—in a world burgeoning with about seven billion people [6]—many people bearing it. A genealogy web site has some statistics which however looks grossly incomplete (see also [7]).
