- This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Lárisa (Λάρισα) Lā́rissa (Λᾱ́ρισσα),” meaning “citadel.” In Greek mythology, Larissa was a local nymph from Thessaly. Pausanias described her as the daughter of Pelasgus. However, Hellanicus states that the sons of Poseidon and Larissa were Achaios, Phthios, and Pelasgus. Larissa also is the capital and biggest city of the Thessaly region of Greece and the capital of the Larissa regional unit. Saint Larisa (Beride) was one of twenty-six martyrs who was killed by the Goths around the year 375 under Jungerich, a persecutor of Christians. Ancient synaxaria of the Gothic Church recount the martyrdom of twenty-six Christians in the time of the emperors Valentinian, Valens, and Gratian. This name, in some cases, is associated with Ilaria.

- Laerzio
- This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Laértēs (Λαέρτης),” composed of two elements: “lāós (λᾱός)” (people, people assembled) plus “eírō (εἴρω)” (tie, join, fasten, string together). In turn, the name means “one who gathers the people.” Laertes was the son of Arcesius and Chalcomedusa. He was the father of Odysseus and Ctimene by his wife Anticlea, daughter of the thief Autolycus. Laertes was an Argonaut and participated in the hunt for the Calydonian boar. Laertes’s title was king of the Cephallenians, which he presumably inherited from his father, Crcesius, and grandfather Cephalus.
