Laurentius

Lawrence is a male first name. The name comes from Latin and means " the man from Laurentum " (after the village near Rome). The connection with the Latin word for "Laurel " ( Laurus ) is based on a folk etymology. The name exists in Europe in numerous variations and is used as a first name, family name, church name and place name frequently. The main reason for the spread is the worship of St. Lawrence of Rome in ancient times.
