'''''Lan''''' is an archaic element in place-names of [[Wikipedia:English language|Staynish]] origin. It means "shallow seas" or "shallow waters". Its distribution reflects the geographical influence of the [[Wikipedia:Middle English|Middle Staynish]] language.
Lan is used primarily as a place-name suffix to follow a given name of a water area, the most famous example is the Staynicisation of the [[Wikipedia:Breton language|
