Name Origin

Laurin is a unisex given name with roots in both French and German traditions. It is often considered a variant of Lauren or Laurence, ultimately deriving from the Latin 'Laurentius,' meaning 'from Laurentum.' Laurentum was an ancient Roman city known for its laurel trees. The name Laurin thus carries associations with nature, victory (laurels being a symbol of triumph), and wisdom.
