Meaning & History

Variant form of Orientius.

This name was borne by at least three early Christian saints, including St. Orentius of Loret (alias San Orencio de Huesca), husband of St. Patientia of Loret, both of whom were martyred in 240; their mutual feast day is May 1, with their joint patronage being against vermin. Pious Spanish tradition makes the couple the parents of St. Lawrence of Rome (d. 258).
