1. Lemannoun

   A sweetheart; a gallant; or a mistress. Thomas Hanmer

   Etymology: Generally supposed to be laimant, the lover, French; but imagined by Franciscus Junius, with almost equal probability, to be derived from leef, Dutch, or leof , Saxon, beloved and man. This etymology is strongly supported by the antient orthography, according to which it was written leveman.

   Hold for my sake, and do him not to dye;
   But vanquish’d, thine eternal bondslave make,
   And me thy worthy meed unto thy leman take. Fa. Qu.

   A cup of wine,
   That’s brisk and fine,
   And drink unto the leman mine. William Shakespeare, Henry IV.

1. Léman

   Léman was the name of a département of the First French Empire. Its name is the French name of Lake Geneva. It was formed in 1798, when the republic of Geneva was occupied by the French. Léman also included districts that were previously part of the départements Mont-Blanc and Ain. The capital of Léman département was Geneva. The département was subdivided into the arrondissements of Geneva, Bonneville and Thonon-les-Bains. Its territory corresponds with the present Swiss canton of Geneva and parts of the present French départements Ain and Haute-Savoie. After the final defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815, the former republic of Geneva became a Swiss canton, and Savoy was returned to the Kingdom of Sardinia. The area around Gex returned to Ain département.
