Etymology

The term 'lanyard' has its origins in the late 16th century, derived from the Old French word 'laniรจre', which means 'a thong or strap'. Initially, it referred to a rope or cord used to secure various objects, especially tools and weapons. Lanyards gained more specific usage in the 20th century when they started being used in the military and security sectors to hold identification tags and access cards. As the custom of using lanyards spread to various industries, they became prominent at conventions, schools, and businesses, often featuring promotional branding. Today, lanyards are not just practical items; they also serve as a fashion accessory and a tool for personal expression.
