Origin and meaning of Lauretta
Lauretta is an affectionate diminutive of Laura, from the Latin laurus, 'laurel,' the plant sacred to Apollo used to crown poets and victors: it thus evokes glory, victory and honour. The name conveys freshness and grace, with a fond, typically Italian touch. It is found almost only in Italy, alongside the far more common base form Laura and the equally affectionate variant Loretta.
