<p>Law is a masculine name with multiple origins and meanings. As an English surname-turned-first-name, it derives from the Old English 'hlaw' meaning 'hill' or as a shortened form of Lawrence, meaning 'from Laurentum' (an ancient Italian city). The name also carries obvious associations with legal systems and moral principles. While traditionally uncommon as a first name, Law gained some recognition through actor Jude Law. Its brevity makes it distinctive in an era of longer male names, offering a strong, commanding presence in just one syllable. The name's simplicity, powerful connotations of justice, and contemporary feel have attracted parents seeking something unconventional yet meaningful with professional gravitas.</p>
