People with the name Lars have a deep inner desire to use their abilities in leadership, and to have personal independence. They would rather focus on large, important issues, and delegate the details.
From the Greek name Σάββας (Sabbas), which was derived from Hebrew סַבָא (sava’) meaning “old man”. Saints bearing this name include a 4th-century Gothic martyr, a 5th-century Cappadocian hermit, and a 12th-century archbishop of Serbia who is the patron saint of that country.
