Origin
Region of originLezhë
Other names
Variant form(s)Reres

The name Renësi derives from Latin: Laurentius through Albanian sound changes. The unstressed Lau- was removed, while the subsequent reduction of the second "e" in Renes-i to a deaf schwa (/ë/) created the alternative form Rens, which is also found in Spanish documents. Also the toponym Renc of a village near Shkodër in northern Albania was likely derived from the Christian martyr venerated in the area, Saint Lawrence.[1] The village is also known with the form Renesi.[2]

The name of the Arbëreshë family Reres is considered a formation from the name Renes-i through Tosk Albanian rhotacism (Reres < Renes).[3]
