Hi, Sorry to interfere on this thread. You provide good information but there also some other possible associations, one of them being scottish and translates Laughlin as "from lochs". An online etymology dictionary points into something way different, a Scandinavian word meaning: one from norway. Which makes sense considering Norwegians and Danish men conquered most Great Britain during the 9th and 10th centuries, so a bond can be established with scotts and irish. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Laughlin If it's interesting to anyone I would probably recommend people running the name through several etymology dictionaries and reporting their postings. Most likely will help many artists. I hoped I helped a bit.
