The background of Larry Day

Laurence is traditionally a feminine name with the meaning ‘bright one.’ The masculine form of the name is Laurent. It is derived from the Latin term ‘Laurentius’, which means ‘Man from Laurentum,’ referring to the ancient Roman city. It may have originated from the Ancient Greek name Lavrenti. The Italian variations are Ilario or Ilaria. This name’s English version is Lawrence, and its nicknames are Larry and Lawrie. However, Larry is also frequently used as a given name.

In 1880, Larry became a common name in the United States. Previously, Larry was considered a pseudonym. The name was bestowed to thirteen infants that year. In the 1930s, its popularity achieved its zenith. In 1939, it was the most popular name in Kansas. In 1952, Texas had the greatest number of babies given this name.
