Lars

The name Lars has Scandinavian roots. Lars comes from the Roman household name Laurentius, meaning ‘the one from Laurentum’. The ancient Roman city Laurentum was considered to be Italy’s original capital city by Roman writers during the reign of King Latinus. This city and its people, who were called the Laurentines, gained this name because King Latinus loved laurel trees. The meaning of Lars also happens to be ‘the one crowned with laurel/laurel wreath’. Laurel wreaths symbolize triumph and victory. They were adorned as a beautiful garland around the neck, or as a chaplet around the head. Olympian champions and the Roman Emperors wore these wreaths with pride and honour. The Greek god Apollo is always pictured with a laurel wreath worn as a crown around his head. American wrestler Dylan Miley is known by his ring name Lars Sullivan. Ryan Gosling stars as Lars in the 2007 romcom ‘Lars And The Real Girl’.
