REF: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

"Larter... appears to have its origin in the Ancient Germanic word LAHTRO, relating to a place where animals lay their young. As the Germanic tribes began to migrate the Old Norse branch took with them their own dialect forms of this word spelt as Lahtre and Lattr; while the Scandinavians developed their forms as Lauchter and Lawchter. On migrating to East Anglia, England; the Anglo Saxons of the Scandinavian tribe brought with them their language which has been historically classed as Old English. Spellings in Old English often had the letter H prefixed, therefore in those days was spelt as Hleahtor which later, towards the Middle English period became Laughter. Generally, the pronunciation of 'augh in Laughter had the sound of 'or' as in Lawter and 'ar' as in Larter; but as the UK had dozens of dialects, a whole bunch of variant spellings for this word appeared...

"A number of references have been found where these old words have been used, all of which seem to apply to a quantity or specific 'odd' number of something- usually 13 or 15. The following are a few examples that have been found:

Eggs of the same LIGHTER. (1691)
'She's laid out her LAITER. (1873)
Their hens are sitting on a good LAUCHTER of eggs. (1899)
It's her thirteenth bairn this year. I hope she's laid her LAFTER now. (No date given)
...William, one of John's LAUGHTER. (William, one of John's 13 children.)

"The spelling of Larter... appears to have a Norfolk and Suffolk origin. Laughter appears to have been the first spelling of the surname, of which Lawter is a variant... alongside another variant - Lauter."

Larter: In the 1851 UK Census (sampling of 200), 36% were from Suffolk, 20% from Norfolk, 13% from Middlesex, 8% from Surrey, 6% from Lancashire and 17% from elsewhere.
