Lorance is a fine leaf in the playful forest of baby name possibilities. Dating back to the foundations of the Roman Empire, Lorance is also a British Anglo-Saxon surname derived from Laurentius, meaning "from Laurentium." This ancient Roman settlement, nestled between Ostia and Lavinium on the west coast of the Italian Peninsula, was renowned for its laurels and bay trees. In the US, Lorance Township in Bollinger County, Missouri, adds a charming touch, allowing this moniker to travel with the gentle breeze of the laurel trees to lands far away.
