From Saint Lawrence + river. Calque of French fleuve Saint-Laurent. From Middle French Fleuve sainct Laurens. Named after Roman martyr Saint Lawrence. Coined by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1604. In turn named after the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, itself coined by another French explorer, Jacques Cartier, which lies at the mouth of the river.
