English from Latin

"from Laurentum or bay laurel"

Lourence Origin and Meaning

The name Lourence is a girl's name.

Lourence is an unusual feminine name that appears to be a variant of Lawrence or Laurence, which traditionally derive from the Roman name Laurentius, meaning "from Laurentum" or associated with laurel (a symbol of victory). While Lawrence is typically masculine, this spelling variation with the "ou" may be intended to feminize it or give it a French-inspired quality. The name remains quite rare for girls, making it a highly distinctive choice. It carries an elegant, somewhat aristocratic sound that sets it apart from more common feminine names. Parents might choose Lourence seeking a name with historical depth but unconventional gender application, perhaps honoring a family Lawrence while adapting it for a daughter.
