Laurine Origin and Meaning
The name Laurine is a girl's name.
Laurine is a feminine name with Latin roots, derived from 'laurus' meaning 'laurel tree' or 'sweet bay tree,' which was historically a symbol of victory and honor in ancient Rome. As a diminutive form of Laura, Laurine emerged primarily in French-speaking regions before spreading to other European countries and North America. The name enjoyed modest popularity in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1910s and 1920s in the United States, but has since become quite rare. Laurine carries connotations of achievement, elegance, and classical beauty, while maintaining a delicate, vintage charm that distinguishes it from more common Laura derivatives.
