Lawra Origin and Meaning

The name Lawra is a girl's name.

Lawra is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of the more common Laura. Derived from Latin roots, the name ultimately comes from 'laurus,' meaning 'laurel tree' or 'sweet bay tree,' which was used to create wreaths symbolizing victory and honor in ancient Rome. This alternative spelling gives the classic name a distinctive touch while maintaining its elegant sound and rich heritage. Though less common than the traditional Laura, Lawra offers a unique visual identity while still connecting to the well-established name's history and meaning. The name has never been widely popular with this specific spelling, making it an uncommon choice that still carries familiar pronunciation.
