Laurean is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'laurus', which means 'laurel' or 'bay tree'. This evergreen plant was sacred to Apollo and used as a symbol of victory in ancient Rome. Thus, Laurean can be interpreted as 'of the laurel' or 'crowned with laurel'. It is predominantly used as a male given name, though it can also be given to females. The name has a classical, elegant ring to it, making it a unique yet timeless choice for parents seeking an exceptional name for their child.
Laurean saw a spike in popularity with 6 births in 1946, but then usage declined until it reached a steady state of 5 births per year from 1963 onwards. The name hasn't regained its earlier prominence since, with a total of 16 Laureans born over the three reported years.
