_Lunhunter._--What is the etymology of this surname; or rather, what is

a _lun_? We have the analogous names Wolfhunter and Todhunter (_i.e._ a

hunter of foxes). I am not satisfied with the origin assigned to this

designation in my _English Surnames_. Is there any beast of prey, or of

the chase, bearing the provincial name of _lun_?
