[edit] Given name : Lars
Lars is a common male name in Scandinavian countries such as Norway, Denmark and Sweden. It is derived from the Roman name Laurentius, which means "he who is crowned with laurel."
Very much to his amusement, Lars Washington has not been crowned with laurel...
For obvious reasons, he is attracted to everything related to the Lauraceae (the botanical laurel family) including:
- Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis), the original true laurel that is the source of bay leaves used as a seasoning.
- California Laurel (Umbellularia californica), a related tree or large shrub.
- Camphor Laurel (Cinnamomum camphora), a natural source of camphor.
- True Cinnamon or Ceylon Cinnamon Cinnamomum verum, the inner bark of which is used as the spice cinnamon.
[edit] Family name : Washington
The name Washington is derived from a place name of uncertain origin. The earliest examples in England are either:
- Wasindone (people of the hill by the stream, 1096), or
- Wassyngtona (settlement of Wassa's people, 1183)
In respectful memory of the George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799), the first President of the United States, (1789–1797), after leading the Continental Army to victory over the Kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), Lars chose, above all, this family name.

[edit] A remarkable Farewell Address from a great American leader
George Washington's Farewell Address (issued as a public letter in 1796) was one of the most influential statements of American political values. It gives advice on the necessity and importance of national union, the value of the Constitution and the rule of law, the evils of political parties, and the proper virtues of a republican people. In the address, he called morality "a necessary spring of popular government." He said, "reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle" – making the point that the value of religion is for the benefit of society as a whole.
Washington's public political address warned against foreign influence in domestic affairs and American meddling in European affairs. He warned against bitter partisanship in domestic politics and called for men to move beyond partisanship and serve the common good. He called for an America wholly free of foreign attachments, saying the United States must concentrate primarily on American interests. He counseled friendship and commerce with all nations, but warned against involvement in European wars and entering into long-term "entangling" alliances. The address quickly set American values regarding religion and foreign affairs.
