Real-world considerations
- Spelling note: Larson (a similarly-sounding surname-name with a different patronymic root, 'son of Lars').
- The 'son of Laurence' patronymic reading is well attested for the surname, but the further step connecting 'Laurence' to the Latin place name Laurentum and the laurel-tree word laurus is a separate, several-steps-removed etymological chain, not a direct claim about Lawson's own meaning.
