- One derives it from lana, wool, in the same way salinas, salt-house, is derived from sal, salt. The translation is then "wool-house", perhaps a place where wool was washed, or sheep sheared.
- Another translates it as "slaughter-house", perhaps from laniena, a butcher's stall.
- Another believes that salinas was miscopied as laninas, and the holding was ½ a salt-house, possibly shared with the holding of Hugh son of Baldric.]
