In Limburgish it would be (although I have never heard anyone say it):

      Reveer van de Wouf,    Naer-Sint-Laur  ( Limburgish )

      Sint Laur Reveer

For 'Lawrence' can also be called otherwise in Limburgish: Rang, Reng or
Rens, but I usually hear Laur (pronounced the French way).

Regards,

Mathieu
