Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Lauren je anglická podoba mena Laurence, používaná aj ako ženské meno. Prostredníctvom Laurence nadväzuje na latinské Laurentius, pôvodne označujúce človeka pochádzajúceho z mesta Laurentum v Latiu. Názov mesta sa tradične spája s latinským laurus „vavrín“; význam „ovenčená vavrínom“ je preto nepriamy, symbolický výklad.
