Meaning & Origin of Laurent
Meaning: From Laurentum, an ancient Italian city.
Origin: Latin via French.
A common claim: means 'laurel' or 'crowned with laurel' Actually: Laurent is often simplified to just 'laurel,' but it more precisely means 'of/from Laurentum' — a town whose own name was linked to the laurel tree, making the laurel connection indirect rather than a direct translation.
