Lauris is in Origin.

Lauris is a masculine given name found chiefly in Latvia and the broader Baltic region. It traces to Latin Laurentius (literally “man from Laurentum”) and is closely linked to laurus, “laurel,” the classical emblem of victory and honor. This dual heritage gives Lauris both a geographic and a symbolic resonance, blending Roman roots with a pan-European laureate tradition.

In Latvian use, Lauris gained steady traction in the late 19th and 20th centuries and remains familiar today, helped by public figures such as singer Lauris Reiniks and ice hockey player Lauris Dārziņš. Variants and cognates across languages include Lauri (Finnish, Estonian), Laurits/Laurits (Estonian/Danish), Laurin (German), Laurens (Dutch/Afrikaans), Laurent (French), Lawrence/Laurence (English), Lorenzo (Italian/Spanish), Wawrzyniec (Polish), and Lavrentiy (Russian), with Latin Laurus/Laurentius in the background. Related feminine forms are Laura, Laure, Lauren, and French Laurence. The core meaning evokes the laurel wreath - achievement, renown, and triumph.
