About Lorenzo
Latinizing Lawrence gives it a whole new lease on life. Like Leonardo, Lorenzo has been integrated into the American stockpot of names, partly via actor Lorenzo Lamas. Other associations are with Lorenzo de' Medici, the Florentine Renaissance merchant prince and art patron, Renaissance artists Ghiberti and Lotto, and the upstanding young man who married Shylock's daughter Jessica in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
It would work well with a simple one-syllable Anglo name--in the depths of radio history, there was a soap opera character named Lorenzo Jones. And Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi made this choice for her son.
Renzo and Enzo are both appealing nicknames, sometimes used on their own.
Lorenzo is also given to girls.
Pronounced lo-REN-zo.
As of October 2026, Lorenzo ranked #117 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #116 in 2024, Nameberry popularity #538.
