Laurinas is a Lithuanian masculine given name, a rarer variant of the standard Laurynas. It descends from Latin Laurentius, the Roman cognomen interpreted as “man from Laurentum,” later linked to laurus, the laurel tree prized in antiquity as a sign of victory and honor. Because of that association, Laurinas carries the sense of “laurel-crowned,” “honored,” or “victorious.”

While Laurinas itself is uncommon today, it appeals to parents seeking a traditional Baltic form that remains distinctive.
