The origin of the name Larson
Larson (Larsson) is an ancient Scandinavian patronymic surname meaning "son of Lars" (the Nordic form of Laurence, derived from Latin Laurentius, meaning "laurel-crowned" or "victorious"). Widespread across Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, families bearing the Larson name served as patrician merchants, landholders, and civic magistrates throughout Scandinavian history.
The symbolism of the Larson coat of arms
Visually bold and powerful, the Larson coat of arms features a deep blue shield charged with a central red bull's head caboshed (facing directly forward). In classical heraldry, the deep blue field symbolises loyalty, truth, and faith, while the red bull's head represents unyielding physical strength, martial fortitude, persistent labor, and fierce protection of family territory. Positioned above the shield, the crest displays an upright open hand/palm erect set between two curved hunting horns (one red, one blue), symbolising peaceful pledges, open hospitality, and forestry alertness. The formal recognition of this coat of arms was documented in Nordic patrician registers and catalogued in J.B. Rietstap’s Armorial Général.
