The Lardner surname in historical dictionaries

LARDNER. A swineherd, or rather the person who superintended the iannage of hogs in a forest. Eng. Surn. But Kelham (Norm. Fr. Diet.) says, " the ofilicer in the king's household who presided over the larder." "\Miichever alternative the etymological reader may choose, he is certain to 'save his bacon,' since the word larder, as applied to the victualling department of a house, is derived from the Fr. lard, because bacon was the principal article therein deposited.
