Have you ever looked up the meaning of your name, your parents, or even your kids? You can have a lot of fun thinking up family/friends names, finding out the meanings and trying to make a connection between the two. For example take my name Laura.
Feminine form of the Late Latin name Laurus, which meant “laurel”. This meaning was favorable, since in ancient Rome the leaves of laurel trees were used to create victors' garlands. The name was borne by the 9th-century Spanish martyr Saint Laura, who was a nun thrown into a vat of molten lead by the Moors. It was also the name of the subject of poems by the 14th-century Italian poet Petrarch.
As an English name, Laura has been used since the 13th century. A famous bearer was Laura Secord (1775-1868), a Canadian heroine during the War of 1812.
That's the fun of baby name meanings – parents make naming decisions based on many, many different reasons, including family traditions, religion, culture, uniqueness and it just sounds really nice. But – in the Western world – we rarely do any real research into the history or real meaning of baby names. So when the poor/lucky child finally finds out the meaning of his/her really nice sounding name, the results can be interesting, ironic, unfortunate or just sometimes hilarious.
