My Name

LAURA

Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Finnish, Hungarian
Pronounced: LOR-a, LAWR-a, LOW-rah (Spanish, Italian) A/N Mm, I don't think that's right because in Italian it's 'Lah-uh-rah' (u like 'u' in must). I didn't know 'Low' was pronounced 'lah-uh'...
Meaning: Feminine form of the Late Latin name Laurus, which meant "laurel". In ancient Rome the leaves of laurel trees were used to create victors' garlands. Saint Laura was a 9th-century Spanish martyr, a nun who was thrown into a vat of molten lead by the Moors. Another famous bearer was Laura Secord, a Canadian heroine during the War of 1812.
