MEANING & HISTORY
What does Mattew Lawrence mean?
The independently consulted exact-name reference explicitly identifies Mattew as a Matthew transcription. The linked Matthew account continues Greek Matthaios in the Mattithiah family; the missing h is preserved rather than treated as an error in the Philippine record.
Lawrence is a documented Laurence variant. Laurence comes from Roman Laurentius, from Laurentum; the Italian place-name probably derives from Latin laurel, rather than meaning a crowned victor directly.
