Laurine

Laurine is a feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from the male name Laurence. The name Laurence has several possible meanings depending on its source. In Latin, Laurence means "laurel" or "from Laurentum," which was an ancient city in Italy. In Greek, Laurence means "from Laurentum" and also refers to the plant laurel. In English, Laurence is often associated with the Christian saint Lawrence, who was martyred in the 3rd century AD during Roman Emperor Valerian's persecution of Christians. The name Laurine first appeared in France in the late Middle Ages as a diminutive form of Laurence. It was used as both a given name and a surname for females. Over time, Laurine became more commonly used as a separate feminine name rather than simply a variant of Laurence.
