Lavra feels like a secret handshake of names: familiar enough to echo Laura yet fresh with its own offbeat melody. Rooted in the Latin laurus, meaning “laurel”—an ancient symbol of honor and victory—this name carries a timeless grace. Pronounced LAH-vruh, it slides off the tongue with breezy ease. Between 1956 and 1990, only five to thirteen little Lavras joined U.S. baby charts each year, mostly hovering in the 740–800 rank range (it even peaked at #764 in 1983), a sprinkle of stardust rarity that makes it all the more magical. Perfect for parents seeking a vintage-tinged choice without the crowd, Lavra offers a nod to tradition wrapped in a sparkling underdog vibe. In the game of naming, it’s a quiet victory wreath that whispers, “You’re one of a kind.”
