English: variant of Loveless. The spelling is apparently the
result of folk etymology, which understood the word as a nickname for
a dandy fond of lace. The modern sense of this word is, however, not
attested until the 16th century and at the time of surname formation
it meant only ‘cord’ or ‘shoelace’.
