Large is an English surname, with rare variants including Lardge, Lurge, and Larg. The meaning of the English surname Large is unclear, though it may derive from the Norman French adjective, large, meaning generous, as it is found as the surname 'le Large' in English records dating back as far as the 13th century. The form 'de Large' appears to be continental European rather than English in origin. Henry Brougham Guppy's work, "Homes of Family Names in Great Britain", counted it as being a local surname found in North Wiltshire, and considered it to have particular prevalence among yeoman farmers, when he made his survey based on local directories, circa 1881. According to the International Genealogical Index (www.familysearch.org) the surname is also found in many other English counties, as well as in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. In addition, instances of a surname of the same spelling are to be found in France, Germany, and, more rarely, in the Scandinavian countries. The same source reveals that this surname is borne in other parts of the world, notably in the former British dominions, and in the United States of America. - Guppy, Henry Brougham, "Homes of Family Names in Great Britain" (1890)

Function: noun
Etymology: obsolete Dutch jaght, from Middle Low German jacht, short for jachtschip, literally, hunting ship
: any of various recreational watercraft: as a : a sailboat used for racing b : a large usually motor-driven craft used for pleasure cruising Pronunciation Symbols
A modern yacht A yacht (From Dutch Jacht meaning "hunt") pron. [Iacht or Iat] was originally defined as a light, fast sailing vessel used by the Dutch navy to pursue pirates and other transgressors around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries. After its selection by Charles II of England as the vessel of choice to return to Britain from the Netherlands for his restoration, it came to be used to convey important persons (see under History below). In later parlance, the definition came to cover a wider range of vessels, almost always in private use (i.e. not used for commercial carriage of cargo or passengers), propelled by sail, power, or both and used for pleasure cruising and/or yacht racing. Often, non-sailing yachts are also referred to as motor yachts, to differentiate them from yachts designed for use with sail power. - 1 Modern use of yacht

| Motor Yachts In modern use, the term yacht applies to two rather different classes of vessels, sailing yachts and power yachts. Traditionally yachts were differentiated from working ships mainly by purpose - yachts were swift and comfortable conveyances of the wealthy and powerful. It was not until the ascendancy of the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels as a class became seen as luxury items. Modern use of the term yacht applies to nearly all sailing vessels, other than sailing dinghies, that are used for yacht racing or for pleasure cruising. Motor yachts,..."
