Lawrence Name Details

Lawrence is derived from the Roman cognomen Laurentius, which means 'from Laurentum' or 'man from Laurentum'. Laurentum was an ancient city in Italy, likely named after the laurel plant. It became a popular given name in medieval Europe due to the veneration of Saint Lawrence, a Roman deacon who was martyred in the 3rd century. Saint Lawrence is a patron saint of deacons, cooks, and comedians. The name Lawrence has maintained its popularity over the centuries and is widely used in English-speaking countries.
