Maclaren

Meaning of Maclaren

The name Maclaren traces its roots to the Gaelic Mac Labhrainn, meaning “son of Labhrann” (the Gaelic form of Laurence), and evokes the storied heritage of a Highland clan allied with Clan Gregor. Although proudly unisex, its presence in U.S. birth records has been modest—just five to nine annual entries between 2002 and 2016, hovering around the 900th–980th rank and ebbing and flowing like a Highland mist—quiet yet persistent. Analytically, Maclaren marries tradition and contemporary resonance, conjuring both the sleek silhouette of a Formula One racer and the dependable fold of a renowned stroller brand—though babies named Maclaren seldom insist on the eponymous pushchair. Like a delicate swirl in a Persian tile, it lends a subtle yet distinctive flourish to any child’s identity.
