The name Lausanne is a girl's name meaning "slab".

An unusual place, Lausanne is a hilly city on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Its name comes from the Latin Lausanna, ultimately from a Proto Celtic word meaning "slab" though other sources suggest it could mean "place where one dines".
<br></br>
Rarely used as a given name, it does bear resemblance to Suzanne, Elowen, Luanna, and Laura which could make it an interesting consideration.
