Lauritz Origin and Meaning
The name Lauritz is a boy's name of Danish origin.
Lauritz is a masculine name of Scandinavian origin, primarily used in Denmark and Norway as a variant of Lawrence or Laurence. These names ultimately derive from the Latin 'Laurentius,' meaning 'from Laurentum' (an ancient Roman city) or associated with laurel leaves, which symbolize victory and honor. Lauritz has a strong Nordic character while maintaining its connection to the more widely-used Lawrence. While common in Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark, it remains relatively rare elsewhere. The name carries connotations of strength, achievement, and distinction, with the distinctive 'tz' ending giving it a crisp, memorable quality.
