Laurentz is Dutch, German, Latin in Origin.
Laurentz is a Germanic–Scandinavian variant of the Latin Laurentius, the source of English Lawrence/Laurence and French Laurent. The name traces to Laurentum and to laurus, the “laurel” of victory, yielding the sense “laurel-crowned” or “from Laurentum.” The -tz ending reflects older North German and Danish/Norwegian spellings (cf. Lauritz) and appears in parish and civic records across northern Europe from the 1600s onward; it is rare today but survives in families honoring regional heritage.
Across languages the lineage includes Laurentius (Latin), Laurent (French), Lawrence/Laurence (English), Lorenzo (Italian/Spanish), Lourenço (Portuguese), Lorenz/Laurenz (German), Laurens (Dutch), Laurits/Lauritz and Lars (Scandinavian), Lőrinc (Hungarian), Wawrzyniec (Polish), and Lavrentiy (Russian). Diminutives may be Lau, Ren, or Renz. Popularity throughout Christendom was anchored by the 3rd‑century martyr Saint Lawrence, making Laurentz a distinctive yet historically grounded choice with associations of honor, triumph, and steadfast service.
