Comments for LAURENCE (1):

There is a second interpretation of this name that is equally potential.
Naming children for cognomens of "Mighty", "Powerful", "Strong", "Victorious" was very common - and as the Victor is usually presented a crown of Laurels - this is the most likely understanding of the name Laurence, Laurentius - and all its cognoma.

For a girl, Laurence is the feminine form of Laurent. Which can be confusing.
