In Italy and the Hispanic world, Lorenzo has been steady since the Middle Ages; notable bearers include the Florentine statesman Lorenzo de' Medici and the sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti, while Shakespeare used it in The Merchant of Venice. Contemporary popularity remains strong in Italy, Spain, and Latin America, and it has risen in the United States.
