Laurits

Laurits is a boy's name that is a Estonian and Danish variant of the English names Laurence and Lawrence. Laurits is also related to the Scandinavian name Lauritz. The meaning of Laurits is 'from Laurentum' (an Italian city) or 'laurel', the word connotes triumph, recognition, esteem, or prosperity. In Estonian mythology, Laurits is the name of the fire god who is also related to the Christian deacon, Saint Lawrence, who is the patron saint of fire in the Catholic church. To honor him on his name day, Estonians are forbidden by their tradition to thresh grain and heat the kiln for drying it. In the past, the popularity of this name had gradually dwindled, especially in most Scandinavian countries, such as Denmark, Norway and Sweden. However, the name is slowly garnering attention in pop culture due to the buzzing Netflix Original Series Ragnarok, which features the half-Jötunn half-god character Laurits Seier, portrayed as the reincarnation of Loki, the god of mischief.
