Lawrence

Lawrence is a classic name of Latin origin, meaning 'from Laurentum', a city in ancient Italy. While traditionally male, it has seen use for both genders in recent years. Lawrence evokes a sense of nobility and tradition, partly thanks to legendary figures like Lawrence of Arabia and award-winning actor Lawrence Olivier. It often shortens to Larry, a nickname that brings a casual touch to its formal roots. Although its popularity has waned, it remains an evergreen choice with a strong historical pedigree.
