Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Lars is still on this list. Unfortunately, the paragraph below is rubbish. Etruscan Lars is as far as I remember not a name at all: it means king in Etruscan (as in Lars Porsenna = King Porsenna). My name is derived from Latin Laurentius through the old Norse version of Laurentius, Lavrans. Compare names like Laurant, Lawrence etc. They are all Lars'es. All the best, Lars Dr.art.
