MEANING & HISTORY
What does Lantoy mean?
Lantoy is explicitly formed from Alan with toy in Cebuano. Alan’s earliest root has competing proposals, so the direct familiar-name relationship is more secure than one remote translation.
The ending is local name morphology and should not be read as the English toy word supplying a second meaning.
