Meaning of Lauretha

Lauretha is a lovely and unique name for a baby girl. This name has its origins in Latin, derived from the name "Lauretta," which means "crowned with laurel." The laurel wreath has long been associated with honor and achievement, making Lauretha an apt choice for parents who hope their daughter will grow up to be successful and accomplished. In terms of pronunciation, both British English and American English pronunciations are the same: loh-RETH-uh.
