He was never known as "de Lacy". His mother inherited the Lacy estates from her cousin after his death.

John de Lacy (1150, Lincoln, – 1190, Palestine) was the father of Baron Roger de Lacy. He was Lord of Flamborough [not true] and Constable of Chester. The son of Richard FitzEustace. He was a Governor in Ireland for Henry II. Being a patron of science, he maintained an astronomer at Halton Castle. He founded a Cistercian monastery at Stanlow.[9] In 1190 he granted the second known charter for a ferry at Runcorn Gap. He served with Richard I in the Third Crusade and died at the siege of Tyre.[11] From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barony_of_Halton#6_John_FitzRichard:
