About Lawrie
Lawrie is a masculine name with Scottish origins, derived from the name Lawrence, which means 'from Laurentum' (an ancient Roman city).

While not among the most popular names in recent decades, it offers an appealing alternative to the more common Larry or Laurent. The name carries connotations of strength and dignity inherited from its root name, which was popularized by Saint Lawrence, a 3rd-century Christian martyr. In Scotland, Lawrie has maintained steady, if modest, usage throughout the generations.
Lawrie is also given to girls.
