Lauryn

Lauryn is a modern English feminine name, an elaborated spelling variant of Lauren, itself derived from the Latin Laurentius, meaning from Laurentum, an ancient Italian city whose name is traditionally associated with the laurel tree. The laurel held symbolic importance in classical antiquity as a mark of honor and victory, giving the name connotations of glory and distinction. Lauryn gained widespread recognition in the late twentieth century, boosted in part by American singer Lauryn Hill. Related forms include Laura, Lauren, Loren, and Lorena.
