Lars

US Popularity:4807
Origin:Scandinavian
Meaning:From Laurentum; Laurel
Lars is a masculine name and the Scandinavian form of Laurence. Deriving from the Roman title Laurentius, Lars means "from Laurentum," referring to the city that once stood on the sea coast about 16 miles from Ancient Rome. All of these monikers ultimately arise from laurus, the Latin word for "laurel," so it is believed that Laurentum was a place known for its abundance of laurel trees. As Lars appears on the name charts of every Scandinavian country, it exudes Nordic charm, and The Bump community member alliejo725 agrees, sharing, "I love Lars, and a blonde kid named Lars would be adorable!"
