Larrie

Larrie is an English variant spelling of Larry, itself a familiar form of Lawrence, which derives from the Latin Laurentius, meaning man from Laurentum, a city whose name is often linked to the Latin laurus, meaning laurel. The laurel wreath was a classical symbol of honor and victory, lending the name an association with distinction. Lawrence was borne notably by the third-century Christian martyr Saint Lawrence, which helped spread the name widely across medieval Europe. Related forms include Lars, Laurent, Lorenzo, and Laurence.
