Meaning:From Laurentum; Cheerful; Citadel; Favor, graciousness
The feminine name Larianna's first four letters spell out Lari, a moniker that gives it many potential meanings. Lari could be a modern variant of Larry or Larrie, shortened forms of the English and Roman title Laurence. Meaning "from Laurentum," Lari calls to mind the ancient Italian city of Laurentum, which was located about 16 miles from Rome. Laurentum isn't the only ancient city with links to Larianna, as the Greek city name Lárissa carries Lari within it. Originally a fortified town in Thessaly, Lárissa translates to "citadel," honoring the city's defensive beginnings. The Latin title Hilaria, meaning "cheerful," also lends its definition to Larianna, so don't be surprised if your little one's laughter and squeals are the soundtrack of your home! With Anna's Hebrew translations of "favor" and "graciousness" in the mix, Larianna is a moniker that demonstrates the impact a positive attitude can make.
