Lari
Meaning of Lari
Lari, pronounced LAH-ree (/ˈlɑri/), is a succinct unisex name with etymological connections to the Latin Laurentius—denoting “from Laurentum”—and the Finnish Lauri, itself a regional variant of Laurence; it also functions as a contracted form of the Greek-derived Larissa in Anglophone contexts. In the United States, Social Security data reveal intermittent usage since the 1940s, peaking during the 1970s with rankings in the low 700s before tapering into the 900s by the early 2000s (five occurrences in 2006; rank 962). Phonotactically straightforward, Lari aligns with modern preferences for brevity and gender neutrality, while its ISO designation as the Georgian national currency code underscores an ancillary global-economic resonance. Analytical assessment positions Lari as a technically precise choice that integrates classical derivations with contemporary unisex naming conventions within Anglo-American frameworks.
