What does Lorenzo mean?

Italian form of Laurence, from the Roman cognomen Laurentius meaning 'man from Laurentum'. The place name Laurentum is itself usually linked to Latin 'laurus', the laurel tree, so the name carries a secondary association with laurel/the victory wreath.

What does Enzo mean?

Origin debated. Commonly explained as an Italian form of Germanic Heinz/Heinrich (Henry), from 'heim' ('home') and 'ric' ('ruler'), i.e. 'home ruler'. It is also widely used as a short form of Italian names ending in '-enzo' such as Lorenzo and Vincenzo. A derivation from Germanic Anzo has also been proposed.
