Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Lorenzo originally refers to a man from the ancient city of Laurentum in Latium.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Lorenzo je talianska a španielska podoba latinského mena Laurentius, pôvodne označujúceho človeka pochádzajúceho z mesta Laurentum v starovekom Latiu. Názov mesta sa tradične spája s latinským laurus, čiže vavrín. Výklad „ovenčený vavrínom“ je druhotný; základný význam mena vyjadruje miestny pôvod.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia a domácke podoby: Fábián – Bencze: Lőrinc nell’ungherese e Lorenzo nell’italiano, Verbum 1/2 (1999). Kresťanská tradícia: Treccani: Lorenzo, santo. Uvedené domácke tvary sú talianske; ich obľúbenosť v slovenských rodinách nie je overená. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou slovenského vzoru chlap na mužské meno zakončené na -o, nie citáciou osobitného stanoviska JÚĽŠ SAV k menu Lorenzo. Konkrétne heslo z monografie Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
