Its core meaning echoes Laura/Laure/Laurence: “laurel” or “crowned with laurel.”

Related forms and cognates include Laura, Laure, Laurence (feminine in French), Lauren, Laurine, Laurena, and the less common Laurice/Laurisse. Internationally, the broader family also encompasses Laurent, Lorenzo, and Lawrence. Nicknames range from Laurie and Lau to Lise when the Élise interpretation is intended.
