Laureen

Laureen is an English feminine name formed as an elaborated variant of Laura, which itself derives from Latin laurus, meaning laurel tree. The laurel was prized in classical antiquity as a symbol of victory and honor, famously used to crown poets and heroes. Laureen belongs to a large family of related forms including Lauren, Laurene, Laurine, and Lorene, all of which trace back to the same Latin root.
