Laureano is of Latin origin, derived from the Late Latin word 'laurus', meaning 'laurel'. It was traditionally given to boys born around the time of the Roman festival in honor of Apollo and his oracle at Delphi, where laurel was a sacred plant. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages in Spain, often used as a personal name or a surname. Laureano is not particularly common today, but it carries historical significance and a touch of ancient Roman mystique.
"The name Laureano experienced fluctuations in popularity throughout the years, with peaks in the late 70s and early 2000s."
