Laura-Jean is in Origin.
Laura-Jean blends Latin and Hebrew roots. Laura derives from laurus, the laurel tree, emblem of victory and poetic fame; its prominence grew in medieval Europe, aided by Petrarch’s muse, and it has remained a classic across Romance and Germanic languages. Jean here is the English and Scottish feminine form related to Jane/Jeanne, from Hebrew Yohanan, "God is gracious." Together, the double name can be read as "laurel crowned by God's grace" or "victorious through grace."
Hyphenated given names have long been common in French naming and spread in the 19th and 20th centuries through Britain and North America, yielding pairings like Sarah-Jane and Mary-Ann; Laura-Jean follows that pattern and saw use especially in the late 20th century. Variants include Laura Jean (unhyphenated), Laurajean, Lora-Jean, and Laure-Jean. Related cross-language pairings are Laura-Jeanne and Laura-Joan. Nicknames and short forms include LJ, Laurie, Jeanie, and Jean.
