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

Hi Lucille,

Yes, Laurenz is a German form of Laurentius as well as Lorenz.

I'm sorry, but I don't know, which one's older... :(
