Введение
Large – английская фамилия, с вариантами, включающими Lardge и Lurge. Её значение неоднозначно, однако оно может происходить от нормандско-французского прилагательного *large* (означающего «щедрый» или «большой» [как в выражении "that's big of you", означающем щедрость, а также большой по размеру]), поскольку фамилия "le Large" встречается в английских записях, датируемых ещё XIII веком. В работе Харрисона, посвященной английским фамилиям, приводится следующее: "Large (прилагательное: французское, латинское) Большой; Щедрый [среднеанглийский, старофранцузский *large*; латинский *largus, a, [означающее] обильный, щедрый]". Он приводит раннее упоминание фамилии: Остин Белц из "Сто роллов" – запись, датированная 1273 годом. Он также приводит цитату, демонстрирующую слово в его более раннем значении – щедрый, полный, либеральный или обильный – в литературном контексте:
He gives an early citation for the name: Austin Belz from the Hundred Rolls, a reference dating to 1273. He also provides a quotation showing the word in its older sense of generous, full, liberal or ample in its literary context:
So large of yift [gift] and free was she (from Chaucer's Romance of the Rose I168)
Another variant surname, "de Large", appears to be continental European rather than English in origin. Henry Brougham Guppy's survey circa 1881, based on local British directories, places Large as a surname local to North Wiltshire, and considers it to have particular prevalence among yeoman farmers. (Guppy, 1890)
According to the International Genealogical Index, the surname is also found in many other English counties; in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and other English language countries; in France and Germany, and, more rarely, in the Scandinavian countries. Large is also found in Latin America countries such as Colombia where all families surnamed Large are related. People with the name Large, or one of its variants, include:
"Так щедра дарами и свободна была она" (из "Романа о Розе" Чосера, I168).

Другой вариант фамилии, "de Large", по-видимому, имеет континентально-европейское, а не английское происхождение. Исследование Генри Брогема Гуппи, проведённое около 1881 года на основе местных британских справочников, указывает на то, что фамилия Large наиболее распространена в Северном Уилтшире и особенно часто встречается среди фермеров-землевладельцев. Согласно Международному генеалогическому индексу, фамилия также встречается во многих других английских графствах, а также в Ирландии, Шотландии, Уэльсе и других англоязычных странах, во Франции и Германии, и реже – в скандинавских странах. Large встречается и в странах Латинской Америки, таких как Колумбия, где все семьи с этой фамилией связаны между собой. Среди людей, носящих фамилию Large или один из её вариантов, можно выделить:
