Launo

Launo is a Finnish masculine given name, likely a regional or dialectal variant of the Scandinavian name Lauri, itself the Finnish and Norse form of Laurentius, the Latin name derived from Laurentum, a place name possibly meaning place of laurel trees. The laurel was associated in ancient Rome with honor and victory, giving the name a long tradition of prestigious use across Europe. Related forms include Lauri, Lars, Lawrence, and Lorenz.
