[Facts] What do the names Laurente, Lorente, and Llorente mean?
Their surname descendants are pretty common. I know that they ultimately come from Laurentius, but I don't know how.Rate my pnl - https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/219194

I checked and yes, they come from an archaic Spanish form of Laurentius, a Latin cognomen (=surname) which meaning is uncertain. :-(
It is probably related to the word "laurus", meaning "laurel". For sure the name Laura derives from it.
P.S. I rated your name list. Can you please rate mine? The link is in the signature.
