Origin
Meaning and history of Laurielle
The name Laurielle is a French feminine name derived from the Latin name Laurentia. Laurentia is derived from the Latin word "laurus," meaning laurel, which was a symbol of victory and honor in ancient Rome. The name Laurielle was likely created as a diminutive form of Laurentia during the Middle Ages.
Laurentia was a relatively common name in ancient Rome, and it was sometimes associated with the Roman goddess of victory, Victoria. The name may have been used to honor victories or as a sign of respect for the laurel wreath, which was a symbol of triumph and achievement.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Laurielle can be found in a French manuscript from the 13th century, where it was spelled as "Lauriella." In this document, Laurielle was the name of a noblewoman who lived in the region of Normandy.
Throughout history, several notable women have borne the name Laurielle. One of the earliest was Laurielle de Montfort (c. 1215-1275), a French noblewoman and the wife of Amaury de Montfort, a prominent figure in the Albigensian Crusade. Another historical figure was Laurielle de Champagne (c. 1260-1320), a French poet and courtier who was known for her love poems and romantic works.
In the 16th century, Laurielle de Medicis (1519-1589) was a member of the powerful Medici family in Florence, Italy. She was known for her patronage of the arts and her support of Renaissance artists and intellectuals.
During the 17th century, Laurielle de La Vallière (1644-1710) was a famous French mistress of King Louis XIV. She was known for her beauty and her influence at the French court, and she later became a nun after retiring from her role as the king's mistress.
Another notable figure was Laurielle de Sévigné (1626-1696), a French aristocrat and writer who is renowned for her extensive correspondence and her witty and insightful letters, which provide a valuable glimpse into the social and cultural life of 17th-century France.
While the name Laurielle has fallen out of common usage in modern times, it has a rich historical background and has been borne by several influential and accomplished women throughout history.

FAQ
Laurielle: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Laurielle?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 95 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Laurielle going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,607,940 US residents.
Is Laurielle a common name?
We classify Laurielle as "Very Rare". It ranks above 63.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 97 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Laurielle most popular?
The single biggest year for Laurielle was 2014, when 16 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Laurielle is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Laurielle in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Laurielle a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Laurielle in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Laurielle still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Laurielle in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Laurielle can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
