Lorents Family Crest & Name History

Spellings drift, and Lorents is where Lorentz drifted for some families. Taken at its root, Lorents points to “From Laurentius (Lawrence)”. Lorents writes “s” in place of the “z” found in Lorentz, a typical scribal difference. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them.

Arms linked to Lorentz and its spellings were granted to individual families; our heraldry team traces which line they belonged to. Want more than a summary? See the Lorents family name pack.
