Meaning & History
Possibly from the name of homesteads in Denmark, most likely derived from Old Norse laut meaning "barn", combined with the Danish suffix -drup (itself from Old Norse thorp) meaning "outlying farmstead, village, settlement". Famous bearers include brothers Michael (1964-) and Brian Laudrup (1969-), both retired Danish soccer players.
