Documented as a surname in 18th-19th-century American records, especially in the Carolinas, Tennessee, and the Midwest, the Lowrance spelling has persisted through generations and occasionally migrated to first-name use in the modern trend of adopting surnames as given names. Related forms include Lawrence, Laurence, Lowrence, Lorenz, Lorentz, Laurent, Laurens, Lorenzo, and Lourens; diminutives Larry, Laurie, and Renzo; feminine counterparts Lauren, Laurence (French), and Lorenza. Lowrance offers a time-honored meaning with a distinctive frontier-American twist.
