Lauryn is a feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the male name Laurence, which means "laurel" or "from Laurentum." The laurel plant was symbolic in ancient Rome as a sign of victory and immortality. Lauryn gained popularity as a female variant during the late 20th century, often used as a more modern alternative to Laura or Lauren. It has since been consistently ranked among the top 1,000 names for baby girls in the United States. Notable individuals with this name include American singer-songwriter Lauryn Hill and Canadian actress Lauryn Kahn.
"Lauryn saw its peak popularity with 7 newborns in 2004, followed by a dip to 5 births in 2007, bringing the overall total to 12."
