Lauriano

US Popularity Rank: 25934

Origin: Latin

Meaning: From Laurentum

Lauriano is a masculine name of Latin origin. Meaning “from Laurentum,” it refers to someone from an ancient Roman city, which the Roman writers once regarded as the original capital of Italy. Because the city of Laurentum takes after the bountiful laurel trees, the moniker also implies someone from the place of laurel trees or even someone who wears a laurel wreath. Interestingly, Rome’s second emperor, Tiberius, wore laurel wreaths whenever there was stormy weather because he believed that it made him immune to lightning strikes, affording him the protection he needed. So, if you’d like to keep your little one away from any harm, Lauriano is your best bet.
