Notes:

English Anglicized spelling of the French form Laurence [q.v.], from the Latin name Laurentius, "man from Laurentum", and now more popular, especially in the US.

In old documents in Latin, the form Laurentius may be found for Laurence/Lawrence, with appropriate case endings.

See Laurence for a full list of variants.
