History & Origin

Lauriel looks like a recent invention smoothing Laurel into a longer, lyrical shape with the -iel of Muriel. The laurel root, laurus, brings its old sense of honor and victory, while the added ending marks the name as a contemporary American coinage.

Lauriel appeared in the American records only in recent years, reaching about fourteen girls a year at its 2016 showing and staying rare. A girl named Lauriel then is still a child today, placing it among newer, softly ornamental names.

Did you know? The laurel wreath crowned victors and poets in the ancient world, which is why Laurel and its offshoots carry a sense of honor and achievement.
