A Latin name from Laurentum, tied to the laurel wreath given to victors. It's about as rare as Polish names get: only 17 men carry it, all of them, and no boys have been given it in recent years.
Laurencjusz Pronunciation
Laurencjusz is pronounced lah-oo-RENTS-yoosh (/lauˈrɛnt͡sjuʂ/).
What Laurencjusz means
Where Laurencjusz comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Laurencjusz comes from Latin. Behind it stands the Roman name Laurentius, tied to Laurentum, an old town in Latium. That town's name links to laurus, the laurel. The short meaning runs from Laurentum to laurel, and in Polish it becomes wieniec wawrzynowy, a laurel wreath.
The Romans crowned victors and poets with laurel. The name kept that link. Saint Lawrence, a deacon martyred in Rome in 258, carried Laurentius across Christian Europe. Poland took it and reshaped the ending into Laurencjusz.
It is a heavy, formal name. A boy named Laurencjusz spells it out at the urząd while the clerk fills the form. The full Latin ending gives it weight that shorter modern forms drop.
The meaning holds to the laurel: wieniec wawrzynowy, from Laurentum.
When Laurencjusz celebrates name day
Laurencjusz appears 8 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 8 January.
Rarer dates. Only the most complete calendars add this name on these days. Most skip them, so hardly anyone celebrates then.
