The meaning of the name "Lars" does not come from "Man from Laurentum", but comes from "Laurentii", which means "Bearer of Laurels", i.e. "The Victor".

Nothing I'd name a child, but I DO like this name. Makes me think of some male who is either a redhead or is blonde and is of Irish or Scandinavian, Swedish or something in that nature, descent.Lars is definitely a guilty pleasure name for me. Cool name.

I named my son, Larz. The spelling with a "z" instead of an "s" does change the pronunciation a bit (from what was posted before) to the literal translation. It is a Scandanavian name for Laurance. That name means "Champion", i.e. those who had laurels placed on their heads.
