Lahoud

Lahoud (Arabic: لحودl; ), also spelled LaHood in the United States or Lajud in Latin America, is a Maronite Lebanese family name. The name etymologically derives from the Aramaic "ܠܚܽܘܕܳܝܳܐ", meaning "one who stands alone," historically in reference to Jesus. Members of this family have been prominent in Lebanese politics.

A part of the Daou families, Arabs have claimed they allegedly trace their origin back to Ghassanids. Provided by Wikipedia
