Laura

Herkunft und Bedeutung von Laura

Laura comes from the Latin laurus, the 'laurel,' the plant sacred to Apollo used to crown poets and victors: the name thus means 'crowned with laurel,' a symbol of glory and triumph. Made famous by Petrarch, who made her his muse, it is now widespread across Europe and the Americas. Its form stays almost identical in many languages — Italian, Spanish, German — ensuring international recognition.
