Meaning and origin
Laurel means From the laurel tree (Laurus nobilis), ultimately from Latin laurus; the tree and its leaves have long carried a symbolic association with victory and honor.
The English word "laurel" carries a long-standing figurative association with achievement and distinction — the phrase "to rest on one's laurels" (attested by 1831) and the term "laureate" ("crowned with laurels," originally for poetic achievement) both derive from this symbolism, which is the cultural backdrop for the name's nature/honor connotation rather than a documented claim specific to individual namebearers.
