Meaning and history

Laurena is a feminine elaboration of Laura or Lauren. Laura comes from Latin laurus, “laurel,” a tree whose wreaths symbolized victory and honour in ancient Greece and Rome. Lauren developed later from the masculine name Laurence, but modern use often overlaps with Laura. The ending -ena gives Laurena a distinct English and Romance-language form without changing its basic association. Reliable prominent bearers using the exact spelling are limited, so the name’s history is best explained through its established root forms.
