History & Origin

Laurelle takes Laura or Laurel — from Latin laurus, 'laurel' — and adds the graceful French ending -elle. Laurel names have been in steady use since the nineteenth century; Laurelle is the rarer, more decorative sister, and reads as a modern flourish (said 'law-REL').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, elegant, and nature-rooted.

Did you know? The laurel behind Laurelle crowned poets as well as champions — which is why we still speak of a poet laureate (said 'law-REL').
