Is this a German form of the name Laurentius?
Hi all,I was wondering if Laurenz is a German form of Laurentius? I didn't find it here on this site. But if so, could you tell me when it was first being used as Laurenz in Germany? And which form is older; Laurenz or Lorenz?Thank you very much in advance,Lucille
