Meaning and background
The story behind Laurel
Laurel can be a botanical word name: the laurel is an evergreen tree or shrub whose leaves have long been woven into ceremonial wreaths. It is related to the Latin word laurus but enters this given-name use through the English name of the plant. For a dog, Laurel is a complete two-syllable call name with a recognisable natural image, rather than a claim of personal qualities.
