What is the meaning of the name Lassi ?

The baby name Lassi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Finnish: /ˈlɑsːi/ (LAH-see); English approximation: /ˈlæs.i/ (LASS-ee).

Lassi is Finnish in Origin.

Lassi is a Finnish masculine name, a familiar pet form that became an independent given name from Lauri and Lasse, both tracing back to Latin Laurentius. Laurentius denotes a man from Laurentum and, through the laurel symbol, conveys victory or being laurel-crowned. The cult of Saint Lawrence (3rd century) spread the name across Europe; in Finland, Lassi gained steady use in the 20th century and shares the traditional name-day observance associated with Lauri.

Variants and cognates include Lasse and Lauri (Finnish), Lars (Scandinavian), Laurits (Estonian), Laurens (Dutch), Laurent (French), Lawrence/Laurence and Laurie (English), and Lorenzo (Italian/Spanish). Lassi is chiefly Nordic in use. Note: despite identical spelling, it is unrelated to the South Asian yogurt drink lassi.
