Larrence

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Latin

Meaning: From Laurentum; Laurel; Laurel branch

Larrence is a masculine name of Latin origin that you’ll find on the same branch as Laurence, Lawrence, and other similar names. While you and baby may not have heard of the ancient Italian city Laurentum, it is very well represented in their name meaning. Larrence, Laurence, and Lawrence all derive from the Latin title Laurentius, which means “from Laurentum.” As a place name, Laurentum comes from the Latin word laurus, which translates to “laurel” or “laurel branch,” so it’s possible that there were many laurel trees in Laurentum! Whether they go by their full name or the nickname Larry, little Larrence can take pride in their name’s historic roots.
