Larsens

Larsens is a surname of Scandinavian origin, most commonly found in Denmark and Norway. It is a patronymic name, meaning it is derived from the given name "Lars," which is a Danish and Norwegian form of "Lawrence." Therefore, Larsens literally translates to "son of Lars." The given name Lars itself has roots in the Latin name Laurentius, meaning "from Laurentum," an ancient Roman city. Over centuries, as families established themselves, surnames became hereditary, and Larsens became a common way to identify descendants of individuals named Lars. The prevalence of the name reflects historical naming conventions and migration patterns within Scandinavia. Variations of the surname may exist in other regions due to historical emigration from Scandinavia.
