Lauran is traditionally a masculine name, though it bears close resemblance to the feminine Lauren. It likely derives from the Roman name Laurentius, meaning 'from Laurentum' (an ancient Italian city), or relates to the laurel plant, which symbolized victory and honor in classical antiquity. The name shares roots with Lawrence, Laurent, and Lorenzo. As a masculine name, Lauran is uncommon in English-speaking countries, where it might be confused with the feminine Lauren, but it has seen some usage in various European cultures. The name carries connotations of achievement and distinction due to its classical associations with the laurel wreath given to victors. Its relative rarity as a masculine name makes it a distinctive choice while still having recognizable roots.

Lauran is occasionally used for girls in 2020.
