About Laramie
Laramie was derived from the French word la ramée, meaning "leafy canopy." It was historically a French surname, but today it is a viable first name option for girls or boys. The balance is currently running at about seven girls for every boy named Laramie. The Wyoming city gives it more of a cowgirl Western than French vibe.
Pronounced LAR-uh-mee.
As of October 2026, Laramie ranked #1088 in US births in 2025 SSA.
