Laurena is Latin in Origin.

Laurena is a feminine given name formed by adding -ena to Laura or Lauren, ultimately tied to Latin laurus meaning laurel and the Roman name Laurentius meaning from Laurentum. The laurel tree signified victory and poetic honor in classical antiquity, so Laurena carries senses of laurel-crowned, victorious, or honored. Its structure mirrors other 19th-century English names that used -ena to soften or elaborate established forms.

Evidence appears in late 1800s parish rolls and U.S./Canadian records; usage stayed modest, overshadowed by Laura and, later, by Lauren. Variants and close relatives include Lauren, Laura, Laureen, Laurene, Lorena, Lorene, and the French Laure; nicknames Laurie, Rena, and Ena are common. Related masculine forms are Laurence/Lawrence and Laurent. Though never a chart-topper, Laurena offers a familiar sound with a distinctive vintage twist, bridging classical Latin roots and modern English style.
