Laurene
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Laurene: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1983.
A feminine form of Laurence, Laurene shares its root with the Latin *laurus*, meaning “laurel”—a symbol of victory and honour in ancient Rome. The name is most famously borne by Laurene Powell Jobs, the American businesswoman and philanthropist who co‑founded the Emerson Collective. While no prominent Scottish place bears the name, it shares an etymological bond with the French town of Saint‑Laurent. Laurene is a less common variant of Lauren, which surged in popularity across Scotland from the 1980s, yet the *‑ene* ending lends it a distinctly elegant, slightly more formal air—a choice that feels both classic and quietly distinctive for a modern baby.
