Lauren

Meaning

Lauren is a modern English name that comes from the Latin family of names built on Laurentius, related to laurus, meaning "laurel." In classical symbolism, the laurel wreath represented victory, achievement, and honor, so the name carries that association by extension. As a given name, Lauren became especially popular in the English-speaking world in the 20th century.
