Meaning and background
The story behind Laureano
Laureano is the Spanish form of Laurianus, an ancient Roman personal name derived from Laurus. The family of names is connected with the Latin word for laurel, although the intermediate personal-name history matters more than a bare translation. Spanish pronunciation places the stress late in the word and sounds different from names such as Lauren or Laurel. It offers a traditional name with a distinctly Spanish form.
- Origin
- Spanish form of the Roman name Laurianus, derived from Laurus and ultimately the Latin laurel-word. Source
