Laveranues is in Origin.

Laveranues is a modern American given name formed by blending the La- prefix with elements of LaVerne; it likely draws on Old French verne “alder,” the root behind the surname/place-name La Verne, giving an interpretive meaning of “(the) alder” or “alder grove.” The Latinate-looking -anues ending fits the elaborative style of late–20th-century African-American naming, and some hear an echo of Laverna, a minor Roman goddess, though that link is secondary.

Usage is rare and concentrated in the United States, surfacing in records from the 1970s onward. The most prominent bearer is NFL wide receiver Laveranues Coles (born 1977), whose visibility briefly familiarized the name. Variant spellings include LaVeranues, Laveranious, and Laveraneous; short forms Vern, Vee, and Ran appear informally. While typically masculine today, the components relate to unisex LaVerne, so the name can be perceived as flexible across genders.
