Laureline is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'laurus', which means 'laurel' or 'bay tree'. It was often used as a symbol of victory and success in ancient Rome. The name gained prominence through the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, who featured an Elf named Laurelin in his mythology. In popular culture, it is most notably associated with Laureline, the character from Luc Besson's film 'The Fifth Element'. This name has been traditionally more prevalent in France but has started to gain recognition globally.
"Laureline saw a notable decrease in popularity between 2018 and 2019, with 14 births recorded in the former year and only 5 in the latter. Altogether, there were 19 babies named Laureline over these two years."
