Laurine is Latin in Origin.

Laurine is a French feminine given name, formed with the -ine suffix on Laure/Laura and ultimately from Latin laurus “laurel,” the tree that crowned victors and poets. In Scandinavia it also appears as a 19th-century feminine counterpart to Laurits/Lauritz (from Latin Laurentius “of Laurentum,” a place name likewise linked to laurus), giving Laurine a double pathway to the laurel imagery of honor and triumph.

Use is most visible in France, where civil records note sporadic 18th–19th‑century appearances and a marked revival late in the 20th century, peaking in the 1990s before tapering. It occurs in Denmark and Norway around 1880–1920 and has occasional currency in German‑speaking countries. Variants and related forms include Laura, Laure, Lauren, Laurina, Lauretta/Laurette, Laureen, Laurene, the short form Laurie, and cognates such as Italian/Spanish Lorenza and French Laurence. The core meaning centers on “laurel,” signaling achievement, fame, and enduring honor.
