Laoura Name meanings & History

The name Laoura means "bay laurel," which is a type of tree found in the Mediterranean region. Bay laurel leaves were used in ancient Greece to make wreaths that were given as honors to poets and warriors. Variant form of Lavra (Λαύρα), which is the original (modern) Greek form of Laura. Lavra has fallen into disuse, however, which might possibly be because the association with lavra (the name for a type of monastery in Orthodox Christianity) had become too great. This allowed Laoura to become the dominant (i.e. main) Greek form of Laura today. Laoura is primarily used as a feminine given name in Greece.
