I read your meaning of what Larter means. Yes, there is one surname book that mentions it's probably a nickname for cheater or deceiver, but I don't think this is entirely correct. I have, as founder of the Larter Family History Society in Suffolk, England, undertaken extensive research into the meaning and origin of this surname. My research has in fact shown it to be a corruption of Laughter, an old English spelling of the Scandinavian word 'lattre' meaning 'a place where animals lay their young'. To explain the full meaning and origin of Larter would take up too much space here, but if you would like further details of my research, and of our society, please do contact me on larterFHS@btinternet.
