Name
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Lovrenc na Dravskem polju (literally, 'Saint Lawrence on the Drava Plain') to Lovrenc na Dravskem polju (literally, 'Lawrence on the Drava Plain') in 1952. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.
